"Tell me, and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand."

--Native American Saying

I chose this quote because it demonstrates the way students feel in our classrooms. Students learning the best through hands-on and engaging activities. This allows them to gain experience with the content matter and better understand what they are learning about. When we are learning how to drive, we aren't simply told what to do. We don't just watch the instructor and take notes about the proper way to drive. We learn by......actually driving. The same thing goes for learning. The more we involve our students in DOING, the more motivated and invested in their learning they will be.



I agree with your comments about how the saying is connected to student feelings. This one resonated with me in a personal and educational way. I think it also applys to adults in new situations. Adults and students need to be continually DOING to be motivated. Nice Post Laura.
