As discussed before there are several different theories out there on teaching. The "teaching theories" site gives tons of links under general learning, post modern, collaborative, and experimental education.
After looking through the links I found how much I really agree and like the collaborative models. I think that working collaboratively, students can gain so much more than just by working by themselves. They are able to interact, discuss, debate, and connect all at the same time. Ideas can be passed between students, as well as the great wealth of knowledge they are gaining from each other. To me, this is an invaluable experience. Not only is this a great way to learn, but there are tons of ways this can be done through technology....which is what we are striving for!
My name is Pam and I am a grad student at MSMC. I am passionate about teaching young children and I am so thankful for everything I have learned thus far at MSMC. My blog is titled Teaching to Learn and Learning to Teach because I believe that we are all lifelong learners. As we move into our careers as teachers we will be continuously learning from our peers and students. Happy blogging!
The Way of the Future
