 Hey Peers,     Today, I will write about surveys and how they can be beneficial to student teaching. First off, teachers need feedback to become better teachers. There is no such thing as a perfect teacher unless you're Robin Williams in dead poet society. I would use surveys to allow my students to give me feedback on how I can improve as a teacher. For grade matter, I would most likely teach social science so I'd survey my students on what areas or projects to study on. Maybe survey students on how their favorite period of history to focus on. Whatever it may be, surveys are very important to understand your students.     A topic I found very interesting after reviewing my classmates' blogs is relativity. When I say relativity, I mean how similar the students and I are to each other with how we feel about certain assignments or cultures. The students are just as anxious and excited about learning new teaching material for the future as I am and it is great to...

Hey peers,      There are pros and cons to distance learning. First off, learning online gives less motivation to students. Students now have to pay less attention in class due to not being actively watched and listened to. When students aren't being watched actively, they can't be punished for not paying attention in class. Personally, it is hard for me to be motivated to pay attention and I know it is hard for some of my friends to pay attention in class due to it being remote or online.

If I were a teacher, I would try to be enthusiastic as possible to teach my distant learners.     Furthermore, I found this website that provides information on Open Education Resources (OER) on a New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) website. The definition according to the New England Board is th...

 Hey peers,      Like you all, I worked on making a website for our class. For starters, a new skill I learned is making a website which is very fascinating. I loved practicing to actually become a teacher as making a website can be a useful tool in teaching students. Certain things I worked on the website really appealed to me like making announcements, calendars, and resources. Calendars are a very useful tool in helping students memorize the due date. In the past, I wish my teachers had assignment calendars and things coming up. Honestly, the only con that I found was not putting in more effort as I can see a potential amazing learning resource for my students. Here is my website!  http://mrleclass.weebly.com/     When working with Diigo, the bookmark features, as well as sharing remarks, are a very smart tool for teachers and students. The tool not only allows students to work with each other and share their opinion with their peers, but it also al...
