Better late than never i guess...
For this reflection i would just like to write a few things from my last school visit to Mt. Nebo Jr. High. i was able to watch Mr. Christiansens 7th and 8th grade Intro to Technology classes. It was very interesting to say the least. Mr C has a very interesting way of teaching. On one hand he is probably the most organized teacher that i know of. On the other, he is the laziest!
I was very impressed with the packets that had been prepared for each class. He used about 20 or so different activities, covering different subjects involving technology, and put all of the information and worksheets into separate binders. The students were working in groups of 2 or 3 and the objective was to cycle through each binder. I was very impressed with the idea of the students learning and teaching each other, and figuring new things on their own. What i was not impressed with was the lack of instruction at the beginning of class and watching the teacher sit at his desk the entire class period.
The idea was there... the follow through and involvement with the class was not. Babysitter!
