Students should learn from others and then share their learning. Teachers should share information by writing blogs or by using virtual drives such as Google Drive where students could communicate and share ideas with each other’s. As they are having these virtual conversations, students should be working on solving problems in which they would have to express their opinions and debate their points of view.
CHOICE

Give students a choice. Teachers should provide activities that where student could unleash their innovative minds. They could provide students with a website containing different topics with various levels of difficulty where students could chose a topic that are interesting to them. That way, students would by more motivated and engaging in learning. Creating an environment where choices are available would foster a passion for learning.
TIME FOR REFLECTION

Reflection would be more productive if teachers provide activities in which students would have to interact with one another in a meaningful way. For instance, teacher could assign activities to student where students would have to teach a concept or explain an idea to other students. By doing so, students could learn how to think, explore and analyze the information they are teaching other students.
Teachers should involve students in the learning process. For instance, when reading an assigned novel in class, teachers should allow students to change the ending of the novel. By changing the ending, students would have the opportunity to become innovative as they are learning.
CRITICAL THINKING

In a presentation in a world language class, students could research a country then they could compare it with their own. By comparing both countries, students would have to investigate and critically analyzed why culture both cultures are different. The teacher must be an observer and help students to clarify ideas as they are comparing both cultures.
Teacher should use inquiry-base projects in which students would have to investigate to advance their knowledge, as they understand other cultures. Students should use the internet, conduct surveys, make interviews, and develop educational databases and field-data collections. Students would formulate their own questions and answer them. They could generate their own research using oral and written formats. Teacher must check their data process to ensure that the sources where students are getting the information is credible.
SELF-ASSESSMENT

During group work, students could check on themselves using a checklist of how they perform during a project. For instance, the checklist could include items such as, “I am sharing my ideas”, “I am listen attentively to others”, “I am actively participating in having my group member’s work together”, “I care about the project’s goal”, etc. Teacher could assist students by answering questions and clarifying their doubt.
CONNECTED LEARNING

Using technology in the form of applications, students could participate in video conferences or group chats previously configured by teachers where students could be able to see other students’ work and make comments. Teachers should monitor their students so students would not use web applications not approved by the school district.
