WOW!! I am amazed with Inspiration!! I have never seen or heard of this before and the entire time I was watching the instructional demo I was thinking to myself ways that this would be useful to me. It would be an excellent way to lay out my lesson plan in the classroom. Especially since it's so easy to add to it. I could use my layout on a projector for the kids to follow. Also, I could use it as an aid in making worksheets. I noticed one of the programs was a test prep! That would be an awesome way to help students prepare. The possibilities of Inspiration in the classroom are endless :)
From the Chapter 4 in the book, I found the information about PowerPoints and Concept Maps to be the most beneficial. PowerPoints are an excellent way for students to write because they can incorporate facts, pictures, and other information to support their ideas. Concept Maps are helpful in the way of organizing ideas and brainstorming.
I also think peer feedback is extremely important. As the book states directly, "It will cause them to write with a purpose, and to compare their own work to the work of others" (71). I find from taking online classes and doing discussion posts weekly, I put more thought into my work if I know that my teacher isn't going to be the only one reading it. This has a great impact on younger students as well. By grading someone else's work, you realize how to make yours better and spend more time expressing your thoughts.
I don't remember the very first time I taught something, however I did have a group presentation in History of Mathematics last week. I was very nervous to talk in front of the entire class and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make my point. I read and read the material to make sure that I would be able to give the class the same understanding I had. I wanted people to ask questions to make sure the material was understood. After the presentation, I am now and expert at Egyptian Hieratics. :) I think the best way to thoroughly learn something is to teach it to someone else. If you can make someone else understand, you have to understand.

Hi Kay,
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem when i had to speak in front of a lot of people. I got nervous. When I started teaching American students, I was so scared. I thought I didn't know enough to teach them. My advisor helped me a lot and gave me support, so i learned to be more comfortable and confident to teach in American classrooms.
I learn from you and I hope you learn something from me too. :)
Thanks for sharing,
CK
When you have to teach someone something, you have to know what you are talking about. I had the same experience you had in another class. I gave a powerpoint on Tourette syndrome. I didn't want to look bad, so I worked really hard. It was kind of like positive peer pressure. Now, I know a lot about it!
ReplyDeleteHey! So when I was watching the video i completely missed the part about the test prep! I think that is a great idea to use to prepare the students for upcoming test!
ReplyDeleteI also like what you said about peer revisions! I have to agree, that evertime I know someone else, besides the teacher, will be reading one of my papers I put a lot more tought into it. By the way, I really enjoyed your presentation in History of Mathematics. I liked how you brought in pictures and stuff!! :)
