Better learning not more teaching

Read Seth Godins latest blog and slightly amend to better learning not more teaching.

when students are struggling the temptation is to tell them more, longer explanations, more detail, more resources. This is not the solution.

The answer lies in creating a better learning environment.

Try peer instruction at least the kids know what to like to be a learner.
