John's Post about delivery
For delivering different content to students, I have read about and come up with a plethora of ways that I can get information to students. From a technological standpoint, some of the easier ways of giving kids the knowledge is through school websites like blackboard. This is very simple though. One of the key principles of delivery is by relating new information kids have to their old information. This idea gave me many different methods. For instance, as a middle education social studies teacher, I will have kids look up on youtube certain videos of our president and let the kids find out what he is trying to do as president. Then through that info, compare and contrast to a president that they may be studying, like FDR or Lincoln.

I definitely agree with your idea of relating new information to things that students already know. I think this is a great way for students of all ages to learn, it just takes the creativity of the teachers. Your idea of youtube videos is a good idea because it uses technology and also the use of visual learning- which is a great way to teach middle school students!
ReplyDeleteI agree as well about delivering new information! I think youtube is awesome and I think the children would really like do this type of project. I know in middle school, i felt like I had freedom when i was able to use search engines and technology. It allows the kids to gather information but they can all gather it differently. For example, if studying about FDR, all 30 kids could know his birthdate but from a different video. However, Professor Dreier has helped me realize that you need to be careful and make sure the technology you offer is sensored and that your students aren't getting or seeing things that are inappropriate!
