Definition of Learning

 What does learning mean? 

I believe learning is acquiring knowledge and applying it to our everyday life. It is when we try and do things wrong that we learn best. We obtain knowledge all the time and we apply it on a daily basis.

Table definition: 

Learning is acquiring knowledge and applying it to our everyday life. Learning is not just memorizing but being able to understand the information that you have learned by applying it to different contexts.

- What do we want them to do at the end? What's next? 

we need to know were we're at so we can measure the change i.e. learning that happened
