Today in class Abe and Candice led the discussion on chapter 3 of Rethinking Education. I really liked that they had us connect the material to our personal lives, making learning more personal, by posting a reflection to our blog. We aso discussed the importance of wait time when lecturing; We need to give our students 7 seconds to process the question, after 7 seconds we can re-phrase the question if no one responds.
We also discussed the Interactive Whiteboard Lesson assignment. It is important that our lessons are actually interactive and go beyond just a whiteboard lesson. We then discussed how to use SMART Notebook to design our lesson (this was very helpful). It was also really helpful to view the capacity lesson and see some ideas for designing an IWB lesson. The SMART Exchange and SMART Lesson Activity Toolkit websites are also great resources, not only for this assignment, but for life!
