experiential learning

The main idea behind experiential learning is that it should be hands on. This has been proven over and over again throughout these presentations. The students need to be using their hands and their hands and their minds at the same time in order to get the most out of the education. All that this presentation did for me was to tell me once again how important that it is to not just stand in front of a classroom and lecture.
I really enjoyed making a lesson in class though. It was good experience stepping out of our concentrations and learning how to think on the spot how to make everyone a hands on learner. I liked having a health topic because i don't think we spend enough time on health as secondary education majors unless our concentration is health. Also, it was good to have a chance to make a lesson because my partner and i made an integrated unit. It is good experience to have, so all and all i enjoyed the presentation and the experience!
