Week 5

Describe the relationship between teaching and learning according to Maeda?
- Teaching is easy, you just have to act like you know all the answers, as a student you have to gather the answers and then make sense of it.
Describe the importance of the use of metaphors in learning, why would you use
them, how, give an example?
- understand the concept better in their own way
BRAIN - what does the acronym stand for – why is it important?
- Basics - start from the beginning
Repeat - to help understand
Avoid - don't create desperation
Inspire - use metaphors
Never - never forget repeat
Describe a situation where you have been required to teach someone a skill. How could you apply the BRAIN principle to it?
- 3D animation, having to show other students what to do if they are stuck or behind, Start from the basics to ensure that they know what they are looking at, then get them to repeat it themselves so that they know how to do it.

  1. Good to see you're helping other students in your 3D class Nathan. Don't forget to repeat repeat repeat!

    Still not seeing any images or evidence of further research on the topic. You do understand that this request is for assessment purposes and I am not just asking you to add images and links for the hell of it.

    Look forward to seeing some images for this post and weeks 3 and 4 posts also.
