Why?
Classroom Management
Be yourself. Observe. Then practice, practice, practice. Resources: Why dont students like school -Willingham, cognitive scientist
1. Simplicity is underrated. A simple idea wellimplemented is an incredibly powerful thing. 2. You know your classroom best. -works for your students. 3. Excellent teaching is hard work. Excellent teachers continually strive to master their craft. 4. Every teacher must be a reading teacher. Reading/literacy is the skill our students need. 5. Teaching is the most important job in the world. And its also the most difficult.
Why Technology???
Is the present, future, and social. Students more likely to interact with website/ blog/ message board. Be on the cutting edge. Visual Literacy
