Module 7 - Activity 4 Knowledge Building

In this activity we looked at knowledge building as an element of 21st century learning.  We were required to assess whether or not we provide the kind of learning environment in which knowledge building will thrive.    I have concluded that in order for learning environment to encourage knowledge building it requires
1. planning for all the needs of the learners,
2. it should be a place that is fun and the learners enjoy coming to,
3. an atmosphere of lifelong learning and not just individuals absorbing information
4. the use of more student centred approaches to learning
5. students to use critical thinking skills
