Learning, understanding, and conceptual change are big ideas when it comes to increasing student achievement. Each of these ideas has changed throughout American history, from being three different ideas to each idea being embedded into one.
We are shifting towards virtual and visual learning faster this year than people anticipated but also think that it has long been overdue. Learning, Understanding and conceptual change are going to look more different than ever have. To further understand what each of this terms mean read my full essay here. When it comes to teaching Social Studies virtual I think my students will have an even better understanding of concepts. They come from a world of the phone, internet, facetime, etc. Why not keep with the visual perspective when it comes to teaching as well. We need to continue to evolve in education and promote visual learning. There may be push back and students who prefer the old way of learning, which is okay; but if you give them the option (every student wants to have choices) that you can put the power of explaining their learning and understanding in their hands.
