If a picture is worth one thousand words, then I may have cheated on this week’s Share #YourEduStory blog challenge to define learning in 100 words or less. Above is my visual representation of learning.  In words, I would describe the essential elements of learning as:

• Reflective
• Visual/Visible
• Learner-Driven
• Social & Collaborative
• Metacognitive
• Involves Risk
• Messy
• Fun!
• Creative
• Constructed over Time
• A journey with many different paths to explore without end or destination
