Chapter 4: Active Learning

I'm really glad that this book went over Active learning. I believe that it is really extremely important to have students move around and have hands on experiences, and I know that almost all people think that the only time this happen is in the Science Labs, but thankfully that is not correct. I really liked the math teacher example. This was the one where the teacher knew that one of the students was not understanding the new material that was being presented. Instead of just letting him slip through the cracks the teacher thought of a new way to present the material. It worked.

The other really helpful part of this chapter was the list of "Additional Ideas for Making Subjects Physically Engaging." This is going to be really helpful for people like me who has always learned the best through reading and plain old discussion. I really lack in ideas to help these learners so anything like this is awesome.
