Week 3 T2P

Class this week was very interesting to see all the different types of theorist, and how they are all very much different but similar at the same time. I have Vygosty and he focused mainly on social development, we incorporated this in our group work. After leaving class I realize how important that working in groups can be to students. I like the idea of groups of students working on a topic but having different articles or people to read about, and then collaborate ideas. I defiantly think that I can use this in my class in the future, for example I could have the students working a topic such as canine influenza but have them read different articles. Then at the end of class have them all work together to explain all the information they have gathered.  Also with Erikson's stages even though they are somewhat concrete you can still revisit any of them at any time to improve upon yourself. For example one that I could see is trust, being able to trust is a big thing, and can be very easily won by certain people and at the same time easily lost by others. So by being able to revisit that is great because if you couldn't then there would be many mistrusting people around us.

If students are able to work both in a social learning environment, as well as individually. Then they are able to grow both socially as well as being able to internalize information and make their own ideas. Students who are given the opportunity to work collaboratively with other students are able to learn from there peers, as well as take away others ideas and form their own opinions.
