I hope we can all steer away from the old ways of teaching and allow more involvement from the ones that we are going into the profession in the first place.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787233445187755108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939390219942467171.post-71986353472246735182013-08-31T21:48:09.387-07:002013-08-31T21:48:09.387-07:00Hey Danya, I enjoyed reading your post!!

If one is truly curious about something than they will seek out the answer and in the process acquire knowledge. I think being an affective teacher entails the abilities to inspire both curiosity in students, and also being able to prepare students in a way that they will be able to ask the right questions (as you mentioned) in the process of research. <br />Another thing that caught my eye about your post was your thoughts on your primary way of teaching. I believe having a discussion atmosphere is a great classroom technique. I think the beginning part of this process in the classroom is a very important. The critical component is setting the right discussion atmosphere in the class. By making it very clear to all students that everyone's voice will be respected this can be accomplished. Even though not all answers given by students will be correct, if other students (teachers also) respect their effort it will create a more welcoming atmosphere for discussion. I always contributed more to a discussion in the classroom if I felt like my voice was going to be respected and I have noticed the same from other students as well.

It is important that you change your title to reflect this.<br /><br />" I would love for each class to be able to come into the technology room at least once a week " Why shouldn't they have the technology with them at all times. That will be the case in Baldwin County by next fall. For all students!<br /><br />"There are a number of math assignments that you could demonstrate." Yes. So?<br /><br />"Teachers should have designated lectures..." What about BANNING lectures?<br /><br />"The school that I would build would have more of an emphasis on what could be provided for the students as opposed to what the actual building looked like. " Look back at what you have written. What is the balance in your comments between setting/atmosphere and methods/tools/learning objectives?<br /><br />Who is Krissy Venosdale? Sugata Mitra? What is a 3D station?<br /><br />Interesting.John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.com
