Week #13

This week was our week off so here is my video reflection :) I used the video called "3 Steps" for this week. The three steps in the video were; 1. Transform your Classroom into a creative learning space, 2. Teach students the skills of competition, cooperation and collaborating, and 3. Introduce your students to their global peers and provide them the opportunity to collaborate. I love the videos like this because it is so true. Students no longer can learn from just sitting in class and listening to a teacher pour information into them. They need to be critical thinkers. They need to be engaged in their learning because the skills they will learn will be the skills they will need in their future careers. If teachers aren't willing to step up to that challenge, then who is going to teach the future generations. They are often able to figure out technology for themselves, but how are they going to know how to use it in the real world without someone else to help? This is the challenge that we as future teachers face. We need to realize this, and start now to figure out how we are going to do it!
