Finally, during the final hour of the day, each group introduced, showed and discussed their 5 minute video.

Just about every day I find myself embroiled in a discussions about fundamentals of learning, the nature of knowledge and the processes of education.

Today, I discuss the work of Chris Argyris and his theory of double loop learning. The theory Argyris bases his theory on the premise that each of us has a cognitive map inside our heads - in other words, a script to deal with problems and challenges based on previous experience. In yesterday''s post we looked at a model of memory.

Progress within education is not a new dilemma, and has been discussed for generations. For many children who have physical or cognitive impairment, technology doesn’t just support learning, it enables learning to happen.
