ReplyDeleteI also read about Krissy Venosdale in relation to your blog, and I admire both ideas. Sugata Mitra made interesting points about wanting her students to learn from one another. Students should enjoy learning, and have fun at the same time. You made some good points on the tools you will use in the classroom. That will not only help the students learn, but get them familiar with technology. Students can learn from that aspect, and use the basic paper, pencils, and colors. All children have a different way of learning, so having a variety of tools will benefit each child in some way. Learning is very time consuming, and takes allot of studying. You also pointed out, having a variety of ways to teach them will keep it interesting and make them want to learn. Having hands on activities and group work will challenge the student mentally and physically. Your blog was very helpful, and provided me with several ideas for when I become a teacher.
"...Venosdale is a educator who is dedicated about creating the best learning environment for her students." an, not a dedicated to, not dedicated about
ReplyDelete"...Sugata Mitra dream is..." Mitra's, not Mitra
"...knowledgeable of past material." Past material? Material? I think not. What do you mean?
"...Smartboard,iPad,laptops,desktop computers, educational software,books,markers,pens,crayons,paints,pencils and paper...." You must have spaces after commas.
