To Sum UP! Learning is an active and interactive process of accessing, processing, organizing, and reflecting on the information that results in meaningful, long-lasting changes in knowledge, skills, dispositions, beliefs, values and the like. When learning occurs, there are changes in what we perceive, how we act, and how we organize our environment. "To have knowledge nowadays is to make it, to construct it, not to record, absorb, or memorize it. Teaching is not simply telling" (Martin Bickman). Dr. Ludmilla Smirnova 5/14/2019
