~:[CH11 - Day 320]:~ In Action
Many of my mentor teachers were great. I learned a lot as I first started out and one of the things that stuck with me is that when students are engaged in a topic, they tend to remember it more. Yes, they do need information and some will get it better than others, but it always feels that the topics with the most activity and interactions tend to linger with them more. As we had another class activity, it's always little bit of a challenge to get them on the right track with this one, but they always figure it out and seem to enjoy the process. It definitely helps to have technology as it speeds up the pace of our fact checks as we verify information as we go through the process. All in all, I love it when the students get invested into the topics and even if it means a little emotion comes out, it's great because it means that they are thinking about it. In the end, tomorrow's closing day may end up with one side "winning," but in the end, there are no winners and losers when they are able to absorb this material and are better able to grasp what they are learning through interaction.
