Defining adult learners…
Who are they? Will we know them when we see
them?
![Page 12: 21 Century Staff Dev](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5551ee05b4c905f56f8b4ee8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Teachers as adult learners
– Teachers have a vested interest in what they learning… how it will connect in their classroom and beyond….
– Provide support, anticipate questions and issues
– Recognize different learning styles…– Understand opportunity costs — what
is being given up to participate?

Adult Learners (raisins)• Nobody is born knowing this stuff
— although some staff arrive with a chip!
How to help someone use a computer:• A computer is a means to an end. The person you're helping probably cares
mostly about the end. This is reasonable.
• The best way to learn is through apprenticeship -- that is, by doing some real task together with someone who has a different set of skills or uses.
• Knowledge lives in communities, not individuals. A computer user who's part of a community of computer users will have an easier time than one who isn't.
• Take a long-term view. Who do users in this community get help from? If you focus on building that person's skills, the skills will diffuse to everyone else.
