C4T #3 Post 1
My C4T #3 was to post on Nico Rowinsky blog Yo: A Math Teacher's Blog. I commented on his blog post, Is this going to be on the test?
Nico feels like he has done something wrong when a student asks, "Is this going to be on the test?" He states "The word THIS is the problem for me. To a student asking this question, THIS, means a piece of information that will be copied and reused very soon (and then likely never again)."
I commented telling Nico, my EDM310 teacher favorite saying is "NO MORE BURP-BACK EDUCATION!" This post reminds me of this saying because I think that is what he is trying to get away from as well.
I told Nico that I am in school to become a teacher, so I do not have experience with children quite yet. I can imagine students that try to remember everything just to pass the test will most likely not remember the information the next week. I feel if the students have fun and learned the material in different ways other than just a lecture, they will remember the lesson more.
C4T #3 Post 2
I commented on Nico Rowinsky's blog post "How My Students Impressed Me In The First Week".
Nico started the school year by prompting his students with this.
I commented saying I enjoyed watching the videos his students created on YouTube. This is a great way to get students to use their imagination and be creative. I am definitely going to use this in my classroom.
I told him I loved Video 9. This is a very neat way to illustrate math using Legos and technology.
Thank you for the post Jamie. I had a great time doing this with the kids and I'm almost certain they weren't expecting me to start the math year by asking them to make a video. They were instantly engaged. Little cost on my part, but huge payoff.
ReplyDeleteAs a farmer focused on livestock, I'm in need of tractors to assist with feeding and hauling manure. The John Deere 4440 looks appealing, but I'm also looking into the John Deere 5020 for more rigorous tasks in the field. The John Deere 4640 appears to be excellent for plowing, whereas the Kubota B7100 might be suitable for my everyday activities. I'm also contemplating whether the John Deere 1010 would provide better overall flexibility for my farm needs. Which one do you recommend I purchase?
