New Trends in Education

Of the trends discussed in this week's class, which seem to you the most positive? Which the most negative? Why?

What Your Education Teachers Didn't Tell You

This week's class is called, "What Your Education Teachers Didn't Tell You." Did the content justify the title? Did you find today's session helpful as you prepare for your own teaching career?

Days to Remember

From what you learned in class today and from your own experience, comment on the value of having students create History Day projects and/or having special activities for Constitution Day. Do the benefits seem to you to justify the extra time necessary to help students prepare such projects?

Leading Good Discussions

Unless the schedule has been changed, today's class should be about leading good discussions. Please comment here on what you did in class, and note what you think is the most important thing you learned from the class.

Before the semester ends, make sure you have added to your electronic portfolio a lessonplan for a good discussion.

Unknown Topic II

Once again, I am a bit uncertain as to your schedule at Central. Please comment here on what you did in class, and note what you think is the most important thing you learned from the class.

A couple of you are a bit behind on blog posts. Please catch up!

Games and Activities

I believe today's class will be devoted to a presentation of your history/social studies games. If so, post your game here. I'll move it over later to the "Gluing Students to Their Seats" blog.

Unknown Topic

My original schedule had you beginning your "games and activities" projects to share with the class. Since the Central students weren't around Tuesday, my guess is Mrs. Gehrts reivsed the schedule and had you doing something else.

Please comment here on what you did in class Tuesday, October 14, and note what you think is the most important thing you learned from the class.
