List 5 terms you don't quite know yet how to define from our final keywords list. Next identify three in other students' blog you do know how to define, and comment on them there in those blogs.

Collaborative learning - I feel like I understand what this "means" but, especially as a teacher who values social constructivism approaches to classroom instruction, I want to know more about it and its history.

Empowerment - this term seems very broad to me. Does it have to do with the student's agency? Or is this related to other modes of empowerment in the FYC classroom?

Error -Type 1 and Type 2 errors - I am very interested in patterns of error and patterns of how we correct and score errors. What are the differences between Type 1 and Type 2?

Psychology of error - same as above. I need to delve more deeply into the "Phenomenology of Error."

Names I'm not recognizing:
Stephen North
Susan Miller

  1. Hi Jessica!

    Here are my thoughts on collaborative learning:

    Students teaching students. Peer reviews. Peter Elbow's book, Writing Without Teachers. Bruffe notes, there is not a recipe that can be given to successfully navigate through the process of collaborative learning. He instead urges educators to learn the history of collaborative learning in order to improve it and demonstrate how valuable it

  3. Thanks, Shayla! And Dr. Rice!

    I looked up North once I realized I was drawing a blank and remembered. Lots of names, lots of experts.
