What is a Learning Pod ? The learning pod sees a small group of students learning together in their own space. Essentially a learning pod is simply a group of like-minded people who have chosen to create a closed community for their students to learn and grow together. How to create a Learning Pod Learning pods are mainly created when some families decide to pool their resources and educate their children together . These kinds of learning pods can meet in the homes of each family or at any venue or can be alternated between each family. Importance/benefits of Learning Pods. Learning pods allow students to find safety and comfort in a small /closed number of regular learning partners. There is more focus on collaborative learning, which mimics the adult work force better than personalised learning projects offered in the regular/raditional school. Learners are free to follow their own learning goals as they work with other pod members towards the completion of group tasks and projects.
