1 Thing Student Teachers Needs to Know! | Clif's Notes - 0 views

I’m reminded of the best book any new teacher should have that helps address some of these questions, The First Days of School: How to Be an Effective Teacher by Harry Wong. There is a new 2009 edition out now.
-
One point in Wong’s book that still lingers with me is the importance of planning and preparation. You cannot over plan.
-
With good procedures in order, students trained, expectations explained and lots of practice, the classroom can run smoothly. When you plan well, stay organized, and maintain a positive outlook even when it becomes stressful, you can bring new challenges and fun ways to learning. You will gain as much as your students do for it will be a rich and rewarding experience.
Why Social Media Curriculum is Critical in Schools - 140 Character Conference by Lisa N... - 5 views
-
It is unfortunate that in the 21st century many schools have deemed adolescent socialization among each other or with their teachers as inappropriate. This is the pervasive outlook despite the fact that educators are fully aware that 1) A healthy part of adolescent development includes socialization and 2) Research from those like the National School Board Association indicate that most students use social media to discuss educational topics and other studies (like this one from the CCSE) indicate students who are using social media to discuss schoolwork perform better.
-
Across the nation, most schools have banned students from accessing authentic communication hardware or software, positioning school as a place where socialization is kept to a minimum, learning is teacher directed, and conversations are teacher, rather than student, driven and/or maintained. This of course does little to prepare students from effectively navigating the online environments they have access to and should be prepared to navigate outside of school.
-
Schools that have taken the "don't ask, don't tell" approach to the social media curriculum are neglectfully choosing to look the other way as students communicate, collaborate, and connect in worlds devoid of adults. The result can be that just as in the real world, without any adult supervision, students could be at risk and are existing without models for appropriate behavior.

E-commerce, gaming, and social networking sites are grabbing the maximum attention, where you knowingly, or sometimes even unknowingly submit your personal information. And, Internet perpetrators are taking advantage of the pervasive Internet, people's growing dependencies on the Web, and addiction thereof. Thus, what you share on the Web, and with whom you share is an area of concern.
