2 cents & Now/future blogs

After reading several of Davids blog entries on 2 cents Worth of Seeking The Shakabuku. Made me realize how important it is to me to keep up a blog during my college career and my future teaching. A particular blog entry that stood out to me the most was title “The Game” is was how a going to school and seeking a career is a game and knowing how to play it by making good grades not just by memorizing the answers but by actually learning.

In my college career, I feel I can use this tool of blogging to enter experiences in student teaching and knowledge gain from those experiences and ways to improve myself and ask fellow future teachers what they think. I my future teaching career I would love to use this tool as a way my students can engage with other students outside the classroom. Also the way David posted he video on his blog I would love to email with my blog to my future students parents with a welcome video and a what to expect video, in order to prepare them for the first day of school.  The possibilities of what one could do on the blog are infinite, just learning how to do them is the problem :)

The NEED for Inquiry Based Learning & Project Based Learning!

As a future teaching I'm always looking for ways to help me become a better guide for me future students.  In this entry I am going to tell you why it is a NEED to have Inquiry Based Learning and Project Based Learning in the UnitPlan! 

     Inquiry based learning involves the student and leads them to understand. Inquiry questions allow the teacher to ask questions about new resolutions and issues while the students are gaining new information. Inquiry is seeking knowledge, information, or truth through questioning. Project Based learning is teaching the students with real-world problems and challenges. With this type of learning student become active and engaged during learning. With these two types of learning tied into the unit plan a teacher can have effective learning in their future classroom. Every student learns differently and it is important to provide different learning scopes into the classroom. Asking questions with a question is more of guidance to the answer in inquiry learning and applying real world situations can aid in learning.
