Thoughts on Class 1-23
First of all going over the right way to write a post and comment on blogger really helped me see where I was lacking in my posts and comments. This really helped me because now I know what exactly Meagan is looking for. But what got me really thinking in class was our discussion on the cartoon on education. This cartoon is the direct reflection of how the education system has changed throughout the years. During our discussion everybody had a lot of different ideas about why and what this cartoon depicted, but the ones that got me thinking were the ideas of how much the items that are being taught have changed, but the style of teaching hasn't. With new technology being developed every day the youth of America is getting taught things at a very young age. With all this new knowledge the style of teaching hasn't changed as much. When we did our skits in class, most of us chose to have a teacher at the head of the class and the students in desks looking up at the teacher. In my last post I was wondering how this classroom setting effected the students performance.That's still a question that I have, this style of teaching is probably not the best way to teach the youth with the amount of knowledge that they have.

I agree about the in class discussion, i think it was very beneficially. Especially the part when we were discussing how the fundamentals of how we are taught, that really grabbed my attention. I think we do need to start tailoring the educational system more to individuals and really update it from the current process.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that the teacher should not always teach the students. I feel that teaching helps a child learn information more effectively. So it is important for a child to be able to get in front of a classroom and teach other children. Because the children are able to relate more. But my question is why question the type of teaching when you have been taught this way all your life? Do you feel like it has been a waste??
