What Can We Learn About Teaching and Learning from Students?
Back to the Future is the perfect video to show you the modern classroom and all what can be achieved in the classroom in this generation. The video shows you one thing that has never changed and that is you have to make your student's want information. You have to engage them in order for them to want information. Mr. Crosby does this with his science projects. He also has them blog. The blogging helps you make connections. The student's collaborating with blogs and group projects will help them learn more by learning from each other. Future teachers can learn that you have to sell the information to your students, but more importantly make sure they buy it.
Mr. Paul Anderson teaches biology. Biology is one of the most interesting subjects. Biology is also really in depth and contains quite a bit of information. He relies on the "power of the question." We have learned how important a question can be in the classroom. The blended learning cycle helps the "deep question." It revolves around a cycle of experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and applying. The teachers can take away from this video how their questions make the students use the blending learning cycle.
Mark Church has his class work in groups. He ask them a prediction of the group. He will ask them later to see the outcome of the group. The groups once again use collaboration learning. I think it is one of the best way to teach. Many people think the teacher has to lecture to teach. The teacher setting these groups up are teaching more with the group then with a lecture. I remember hearing other people's opinion on a story when I was younger. I remember hearing their points and wondering who is right. The students are thinking. Thinking leads to learning. Future teachers can learn to teach outside of lectures in the classroom from this video.
The best video I watched. It showed me how creative a teacher can be. Internet safety needs to be a concern to everyone. Student's have to be aware of the dangers of the internet. The cool part of the video is the students made their own comic book. The creativity is off of the charts. The comic book making engages everyone. It can engage the whole school district. The comic book strip teaches safety too. The student are pushed to be so creative in this project. Teachers everywhere can learn to be creative and original. Always be brand new or strive to be in the classroom.
It was another original idea. It combined three subjects into one project. PBL is already one of the most out the box teaching methods. The video showed how you can go past the box. It is no limit to teaching, Students get bored in school. It will happened, but it will rarely happened if teachers can continue to go past the box. We can learn that there is no limit to how you can teach material in today's school systems. Technology is limitless and so is teaching and learning.
Once again another great video of what PBL can do for the students. PBL not only shows how the students learn more. It shows how it build you into a better student. PBL done correctly no matter the grade will make you a better student for years to come. We can learn from this video that you have to make sure you are making your students better even after the bell rings for the last day of that school year.
Issac,
ReplyDeleteI also believe that Sam Pane gave a great lesson on internet safety. Pane really got the students involved in learning and made them feel in control. By engaging the students in learning, Pane made the assignment fun. Pane got the students wanting to learn which is one of the most important things we can do as a teacher. It is important to make our students want to learn and enjoy the learning process. Good post.
