Jackie Gerstein shamelessly jumps on some current memes, such as the flipped classroom and the idea of 'Maker' education, and her model is a bit askew (to my perception) but there's definitely enough goodness here to pass along. Illustrated above is her "Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture" with four phases:

  1. Experiential Engagement: The Activity
  2. Concept Exploration: The What
  3. Meaning Making: The So What
  4. Demonstration: The Now What

To me this is an iteration of the Downes overly-simlistic (and unoriginal) theory of education: "to teach is to model and demonstrate; to learn is to practice and reflect." The demonstrating is the experiential engagement, the modeling is the concept exploration, the practice is the demonstration, the reflection is the 'meaning making'.
