I found Michelle and Amy’s Vodcast very interesting. They used two metaphors to represent deep and meaningful learning. The first was the eternity sign which they referred to the way learning is a continuous and ongoing process. I agree with this idea although sometimes it can seem overwhelming. Children sometimes need to be inspired by the never-ending nature of learning but conversely may need to be provided with small and manageable learning tasks to gain a sense of achievement. They also used the metaphor of a road in that learning can take you in many different directions depending on the path that you select. From my teaching and learning experiences I have also realised that being able to determine your educational direction certainly does increase the depth of learning.
