New Thinking From Class

Today for discussion, we used the jigsaw strategy for discussions.  I really liked this because we were able to talk to more individuals and we really had to pay attention and contribute in each group.  But, when these strategies are used, we should make sure to call them the correct term and introduce the students to it.  This will create learning and increase students vocabulary.  Relevence, rigor, and relationships are the three r's we want in education.  Education is dealing with attitudes toward technology.  In 10 years, the amount of technoloy used in the classroom has not changed that much.  Media is huge in our lives and our students' lives.  After searching for the media online, it is amazing how much is out there.  There is so much technology we can use in the classroom and there is so much available material on the internet that we can use as future educators.
