We learn from our experiences almost every moment. We remember what we do better than what we read or hear. Using this simple fact, making children (even adults) learn from their experience is effective. If the medium used is fun, it makes it that much easier. Along with fun, if we use adventure, nature, outdoors

The proverb, "practice makes perfect" is apt in the context of "Experiential Learning" which means the more one engages in an activity, the more proficient they become at it.
An emphasis is also placed on experiential learning in NEP 2020.
Experiential learning provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a particular field or subject. It helps students better understand the concepts they are learning, and gives them the opportunity to apply them in a real-world setting. Experiential learning also helps students develop key life skills such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.
We are students in our 2nd year of a BA (Hons) Professional Studies in Education. As a class we were asked to act as a 'community of practice' to explore different teaching and learning theories, the result was this presentation. Thank you Ann for inspiring us and getting us started.
Reflective thinking/teaching
An approach that a teacher can employ towards his/her lessons. This approach is not multi-disciplinary thus it is to be carefully analyzed prior to employing this approach in any activity.
Experiential approach of learning mathematics- ThiyaguThiyagu K
Many of the science concepts such as gravity, friction, force, momentum etc. can be learned by students playing on slides, swings, spinners, and a number of other standard and custom playground equipments. Students can explore the scientific principles of motion, balance, sound, sight, levers and simple machines, as well as about sun, wind and water. Motivating them to look at the science underlying the enjoyable handson activities, their playing can be turned into a joyful experiential learning by an innovative teacher like us. In the same manner as a mathematics teacher, we have to think to incorporate some of the experiential learning strategies in our classroom practices.
Mathematics requires experiential learning where students are involved in their own understanding of mathematical concepts and practices. Through this type of learning, students are able to identify problems, use constructive reasoning to make viable arguments, and applying mathematics in real-life problems.

How do we unleash our students to find their passion, to be intrinsically motivated, to become entrepreneurial? It not only requires an unleashing of the mindset and beliefs of the students but also the mindset and beliefs of teachers and school leadership. In this session the presenter will share his experiences of unleashing young people via the ruMAD (Are you Making a Difference) program but how he followed his passion to work with schools to think from, plan for, and gradually set up learning environments that unleash learning in schools.
In an effort to provide challenging learning opportunities and to foster the development of 21st Century Skills, one class of fifth-grade gifted students were given a singular directive and complete autonomy to achieve self-determined goals.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. “Tell me, and I will forget.
Show me, and I may remember.
Involve me, and I will understand.”
- Confucius
3. SOME RESEARCH FACTS
• Students remember fieldwork and outdoor
visits for many years. Dierking and Falk
(1997) found that 96 percent of a group (128
children and adults) could recall field trips
taken during their early years at school.
• Recent Studies have shown that the skills
learned in the wilderness find application
long after the course is finished.
4. • The most universally effective form of
leadership training—one that is used by
NASA, Harvard Medical School, and
the Wharton School of Business—is the
Outdoor Experiential Education model.
• Characteristics such as self-esteem,
confidence, self-efficacy, leadership, and
even academic achievement showed longterm improvement after the completion of
an outdoor education course.
5. • Study of secondary students from 11
Californian schools used an
environmentally focused curriculum.
• The students scored higher in 72 per cent of
the academic assessments (reading, science,
math, attendance rates and grade point
averages) than students from traditional
schools (SEER, 2000).
6. • The need for effective follow-up work after
outdoor experiences is stressed by several
authors (for example, Orion and Hofstein,
1994).
• A blend of indoor and outdoor trainings is
more effective. Indoor training provides for
more theoretical understanding and allows
a large amount of content to be covered in
relatively short durations.
7. Outdoor trainings are inarguably the best
way to learn application of concepts.
Learners identify their own potential, push
skills to the limit, understand the behaviors
that come naturally to him when working
with various constraints and identify
weaknesses and thereby work on them.
8. With organizing, planning and facilitation,
outdoor activities afford the opportunity for
valuable lessons in acquiring the skills and
values necessary for teamwork, problem
solving, building trust, and decision making
for the good of all constituents.
9. Challenging outdoor experiences in an
adventure context builds self-esteem and
offers practical experience in leading and
following. Youthful participants can
observe the characteristics of successful
leadership and/or “followership” in these
adventure challenges, and with proper
oversight, be involved in the decisionmaking and execution of the resulting plan
of action.
10. This approach teaches the importance of
doing your share because others are
dependent on you, accepting full ownership
of what is required, and doing it to the best
of your ability for the benefit of all. Thus,
delegating a “teamwork share” of
the responsibility is an excellent way to
teach youth to contribute by taking their
share of ownership of the action plan.
