In my view, I always agree that interesting is the best teacher. During my searching other blog which about the education and teaching methodology, I was attracted by a title Engage = Connect. This blog’s master is called Dgende and in her introduction she writes “my journey is technology will document my learning and discoveries in academic technology”.
In her article, she first post a question --- “What learning environment will I provide so that my students can’t wait ‘til the next class?”, which her asked herself at the beginning of the school year. And I thought it’s a really good and effective way to every teacher should ask her/himself about this, because I believe teacher’s task is not only transfer the knowledge, but also inspire the students interesting and passion to learn and explore the knowledge.
In her blog, we can clearly and easily get her points of her way to let students engage in the class and the details is as follows.
1. I will engage my students by making connections to their passions in sports, in music and in art.
2. I will engage my students by making connections to popular digital games.
3. I will engage my students by making connections to the physics concepts through investigations and experimentation.
4. I will engage my students by facilitating their connection to the world through their own blogs.
5. I will engage my students by enabling them to connect their learning progress to our physics learning objectives.
6. I will engage my students by making professional
What’s more, the details and examples from each point are quite representative, so I can comprehend her thoughts and methods very well. By the way, I like the pictures and video she posed.
In brief, I like the tone, blog style she was delivered. The most important thing is I have the similar teaching notion with her.
