Blog post 2

1.During the video the students never did any dancing the professor always stood behind the desk and showed demonstration of certain moves as he went through the power point. This shows bad teaching skills because if the students never see what you or doing or participate in something than they will never learn. At the end of the term Mr. Dancealot asked each student to show what they have learned throughout the course, but none of the students could show him because he did not teach them anything. No I do not agree with Mr. Danceolot conclusion because you cannot test students on something you have not shown them how to do at least once so they may attempt to try. 2. Teaching in the 21st century tells us as educators that teaching should be focused on teaching students skills that they can use on a daily basis. The skills needs to show how deal with problem solving day to day situations like homework and daily work at home. Thesis -Teaching curriculum should consist of being able to assist student with daily activities, being able to teaching technology, and mainly just basic skills. Argument- Teaching those basic skills will help each child to be able to learn more as they older and would one day want to get a professional job. Each teacher has different methods of teaching and each method is changing every day. As an educator I must come up with my own ways so that those children can learn and not get bored with my teaching. Every day is a new day and as children use the internet, face book, twitter, YouTube, etc. as an educator I must prepare them how to use technology. 3. Becoming a networker is a hard thing to do, you must be careful about what information you are considering using off certain websites because not all information on each website is true. Anybody can make a website and put information and you may think it’s true. So you will all ways need a teacher or someone to show you how thing go because they can make sure you are on the right track on becoming a good networker. 4. I love the way Vickie Davis is teaching her students. Davis is helping them learn and be open minded, showing them that it is more ways to learn than using pencil and paper. I also like that each group take turns showing the class what they have learned for the week; by doing that they are not only teaching themselves but teaching Ms. Davis also. 5. I was totally shocked when I watched the video and Elementary schools were 100% leading the race in education. I am an undergraduate and I would have thought graduate students would be leading but I was wrong I am guessing it is because the elementary schools have more technology than college students. 6. Yes flipping the classroom is new to me. I think this could save a lot of time in the classroom. All you would have to do is review the lesson and put each student into groups and discuss what the lesson was about. This would be useful and not overwhelming each day. 7. As I was reading I realized that you must have different ways to teach children not all children learn the same way. So finding new techniques and strategies on each topic, like group discussion, will help the children learn better and remember what they have learned and understand the topic more.

  1. Technology is the key to the future of education; if the children like it, they will learn it. It is much easyier to keep a student's attention if they are interested in what you are teaching and the way you are teaching it.

  2. I agree that all children learn different, a great teacher should have different teaching styles to fit all the childrens needs. Not everyone learns the same, so if a teacher only taught one way he/she would be basically cheating some of her students that did not fully understand
