Having the chart is great – but using it is key Teachers take this on their shoulders and need to apply this to their lessons Reach out to all students and create a positive learning environment This chart shows the circle of learning and how knowledge is shared Gives evidence for experiences and allows thoughts to be exchanged Promotion for technology and how it is used today Gives a vast amount of ownership to the students and allows them to share ideas and information
