I am hopeful that the new semester can guide me to better improve my teaching practices. Just reading the book by Baggio confirms that we are in a new age of learning, and visual learning is the way to grasp a student's attention. As a teacher, I am a facilitator in the classroom to support learning, my expertise in subject matter in not longer as important. I need to help students sustain their concentration visually, and then guide them through their learning.
The new digital tools that we are learning about and the book studies, will help support me in becoming an innovative teacher. I hope to spend my time exploring new ideas and be ready to implement them into my class in the fall. I'd rather not stress on how to make a project that I might not use ever. The joys of summer learning........
