So I am finally done with the semester and finishing up all the "loose ends." My Social Studies Methods class has taught me so much. In order to teach effectively you must be able to teach alongside of other teachers. It is imperative to be able to collaborate with other professional. Our group came up with some great ideas just by discussing our thoughts and working with those ideas. We also learned a lot from the other groups teaching experiences. I was able to watch some great examples of what engaging teaching should resemble. Though direct, inquiry and cooperative learning lessons are different in ways, they are similar as they all need to be engaging for students. I learned how to further the students knowledge through these three learning lessons. Technology is a must in the classroom these days. It helps keep the students intrigued and helps the lesson come to life.
I will not lie...this class was challenging! But so worth it! I have learned so much that I will take with me as I move forward in my student teaching. Thanks so much to Dr. Smirnova and my fellow classmates for providing me with such an awesome experience.
