The Classroom Discussion in my Head: November 2013
http://discussioninmyhead.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
The Classroom Discussion in my Head. Saturday, November 30, 2013. One resource that has particular launched great part of my growth as a blogger was the mathtwitterblogosphere. Introduced as a class resource. I've started following many of the math teachers' blogs, and I'm learning quite a bit about successful math classrooms as well as effective blogging. I commented on this. Post, I felt that there was a great dialogue between all the commenters and the original author. I feel like all of us contri...

Awareness to action | Escaping Flatland
https://escapingflatland.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/awareness-to-action
February 2, 2014. In both this geography class and with the Project Learning Tree class, there is a non-interference on the teacher’s part. In these moments of environmental education I was given a chance in school to wander allowing a randomness that gave rise to curiosity. I agree with the line from Guesses at Truth. That curiosity is little more than another name for Hope. One thought on “ Awareness to action. February 6, 2014 at 7:22 am. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Too many methods? | Escaping Flatland
https://escapingflatland.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/too-many-methods
February 21, 2014. A few weeks ago my 3. Grade main placement class was working on division. In a single lesson they learned three models for solving the division problem 1,194 5. For some, this method was so confusing that they started questioning their ability to divide. Yet, the same kids could correctly perform multi-digit problems using the rectangle and algorithm methods. I wondered about the effectiveness of reinforcing a concept using so many methods. 3 thoughts on “ Too many methods? If students...

Emerging slowly, mindfully and thoughtfully into a new profession…. March 21, 2014. A New Culture of Learning. I recently finished an intriguing book that is less of a book about technology, but more a book about the social shifts in how we learn due to the dramatic changes in technology. A New Culture of Learning. By Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown describes how the mechanistic nature in which we educate our students does not match the way people are learning outside of school and in the workplace.

Emerging slowly, mindfully and thoughtfully into a new profession…. January 20, 2014. Excited to Teach Science. Image courtesy of ponsulak / FreeDigitalPhotos.net. I am starting to teach science in my main placement this week and I couldn’t be more thrilled! It is interesting because I will be working on a similar unit in another district for my science methods course. It is structured a little differently and is framed more around the idea of rocks, but where do you think the soil base comes from? 8230;...

Emerging slowly, mindfully and thoughtfully into a new profession…. March 17, 2014. Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead. A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy ready-made things in the shops. Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again. Jess C. Scott. Reflection al...

https://escapingflatland.wordpress.com/2014/03/10/physics-of-sound
March 10, 2014. Image from mediacollege.com. Some of the school’s teachers write their own tests, knowing there is not enough time to elaborate or reflect on the investigations. These questions assess general definitions. An example might be a multiple choice question assessing a student’s understanding of the vocabulary Oscilloscope:. What is the name of a machine that uses complex electronics to make an image of sound? Solid, liquid, air or they are all the same. That’s a tough one. They reasoned a...
