What I took from class week 11

It is always good to have a back up plan when you are teaching, especially if you are using technology.  There are advantages of using different tools in a classroom setting because it helps different learners understand.  Plus if they have to use that tool somewhere else it will help them in the future to practice now.  It is good to have students summarize their main answer so that in a discussion you can get right to the main point and understand what other students should learn.  As future educators we should consider whether we want to fit inside the current mold or change the way things are being done right now.  It is a pretty interesting time to become a teacher because of the current economy and the scrutiny teachers are constantly under.  I also learned it is also nice to have a breather day where students can catch up.
