Experiential Learning

I have to admit I don't know if I learned a bunch today that will stick in my head but I do have to admit I believe strongly in experiential learning. Coming from the math perspective, this is how I learned math. I never did just the straight forward sit down math, we did investigations to learn our math. We would observe different things, we would do different experiments to derive a formula, we would look at pictures and graphs to derive different things, we would build stuff on our own to show that we understood what we were learning. Experiential Learning is a lot of the way that I was taught and, me, personally as a student loved it. I know I learned so much better about math concepts through this style of teaching more than I have been in a traditional classroom. I am hoping that the school that I work at allows me to teach in this manner. I believe it's hard and time consuming to teach this way all of the time, but it definitely should be a part a teaching style.
