Class 2/5

Today we didn't have class due to weather, but we were told to read the following link:

I went ahead and read the Multimodal Learning Through Media Link and answered the following questions:


Describe what Dale's Cone of Experience is?
A "visual metaphor" depicting types of learning, from the concrete to the abstract

Is Dale's Cone of Experience logical? Factual?
The data can't be found, but Dale's "bogus data" is more a representative of a "rounded-off generalization based on Phillip's experience and probably some test data, at the Ordinance School.

How does Dales' Cone of Experience comport with current research on teaching and learning in the assigned reading. After the reading, comment on your opinion of the validity of Dale's Cone of Experience.
Visual Symbols are part (though small) of Dale's original cone. The difference with today's research is that it is based on a better and more available technology. I do agree with Dale's Cone because I think that Direct Purposeful Experiences will always be important
