Driving Questions
It is always interesting to hear the different viewpoints of teachers. Ginger Lewmans interview was especially interesting to me because she had many great thoughts. I especially liked her quote “If schools are supposed to prepare students for the real world then why aren’t they mimicking the real world?” This is a great point and I think teachers and future teachers should always be thinking about how to relate the information to the real world. This is the best way for students to keep interest in a subject. Another great point mentioned was that teachers and students are learning together. I forget about the teachers learning experience in a school. We are always very focused on talking about how to help the children learn, but forget we learn from the students also. This is important especially with all of the new technology that the students will use. I might not be able to figure out the information but some of the students might and because of this they might be teaching me how to use it. This podcast was full of many “aha” moments.
