1.Why should teachers incorporate active learning strategies in the classroom?

We have to make our students become more than just passive thinkers. Students need to be active by the use of different activetities. As teachers we should rememeber that each of our students learn differently ( Multiple  Intelligence). When it come to learning actively students should experiment and explore which will help them with critical thinking and decision making. We should prepare our students for the future and for the outside world.

In our classroom there are different students and personality. We must remember about the Multiple Intellegence of Howard Gardner. As teacher we could have our students use their five senses when it comes to learning. The Mutiple Intellegence and the different activies go hand in hand. This article mentions different activites that we could use in class and it should also help each and every student in their learning process and in their style of learning.
