together to discover information, piece it
together, and construct meaning.

way goes to schools, they should also be
collaborating with other educational

information and learn about different
practices or methods that have been
developed.

students to understand how the skills they are
building can be applied in their lives. Students
will be much more motivated to learn
something that they can see the value in. We

teach them the skills that are useful in any
situation.
