I wanted to see more...especially with younger students. Kept my interest. Kept my focus.
is the video working?
On 03-07-09 I watched the video for "Teacher-Preparation Overview: A Survey of Top Programs." It seems that the video file is corrupt or missing. I tried to watch the nine minute video, but I could only view the first 30 seconds. Please look into this. Thank you.
Teacher preparation programmes
There is an important point brought home that the teacher educators themselves should be actively involved in teaching children and sufficiently experienced in actually handling classes besides,of course, being well versed in the theory of pedagogy and the content of the curriculum,
I really enjoyed this video. Not only did it show the importance of supportive mentors, it addresses the issue of students knowing more than teachers in the area of technology. What a simple idea - have the kids be the teachers! This not only helps the teacher but reinforces the subject for the student.
teachers can't teach teaching--teaching teaches teaching
Wow--that makes so much sense. Just about all of my peers admit that their own teacher preparation programs didn't prepare them for actual classroom teaching.
Actual classroom teaching, it seems, is really the only way to prepare perspective teachers for actual classroom teaching.
Teacher preparation/ students teaching teachers
I think this video sheds light on how it is important for there to be a support system in place not only for the student, but for the teacher as well. To have a mentor teacher and a peer evaluator is very helpful to becoming effective in the classroom. I hear it all the time that the real test comes when you step into that classroom, it's like what you learned about the theories associated with education goes out the window.
Students teaching teachers, I think is a humbling experirnce for the teacher because the role has switched and the attention that is wanted from the student they have to give to the student who is teaching them.
Teacher/Student collaboration
I really enjoyed the video, especially the part where the students are teaching the teacher and that is where I see myself. I don't see myself as tech-savvy yet, but I am always willing to keep learning!
