"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin
I chose this quote because I believe it's true. We need to get involved with our students in order for them to learn and remember their skills. I've noticed that when students are involved in classroom activities they have fun and remember what was taught rather than just listening a lecture.
I thought today was a good class session as I enjoyed seeing how my classmates did their projects. It was fun to see how much work everyone put into their projects and I came out of class with more knowledge of websites I can use for my lessons. I would really love to use many of the online resources I've learned in class, unfortunately the internet service in our schools are not very good.

Devin, I also picked that same quote and agree that "involvement" is key in almost any learning environment. Great minds think alike eh!
ReplyDeleteI agree, being involved is the most important thing you can do to inspire a positive learning environment.
ReplyDeleteInvolvement is necessary to learn. This is why we need to consider the multiple learners.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike...I chose this quote as well...hands on, that's how I learn, and you can't help but get involved when it's hands on that's how my ESL students learn as well;)
ReplyDeleteI love it when teachers engage students in the learning process. I am such a hands on learner so it is the teacher who engaged my hands as well as my mind whom I remember the most.
ReplyDeleteExcellent quote. I notice that now a days, the students are more of hand on learners.
