Controversies in Using Technology in Language Teaching - 0 views

    I stumbled on this article and thought it was very interesting. I think it's important to keep these things in mind when bringing technology into the classroom, not to discourage you from doing it, but to help you navigate through the problems that may come from it.

    This came from one of the blogs on my google reader. I love how this article takes a current event and compares it with a historical event in order to further discuss and clarify what is happening today. Sharing things like this with your students can help show why history is relevant.

LDS.org - Ensign Article - Questions, the Heart of Learning and Teaching - 0 views

  • “Some questions invite inspiration. Great teachers ask those. That may take just a small change of words, an inflection of the voice. Here is a question that might not invite inspiration: ‘How is a true prophet recognized?’ That question invites an answer which is a list, drawn from memory, of the scriptures and the words of living prophets. … “But we could ask the question this way, with just a small difference: ‘When have you felt you were in the presence of a prophet?’ That will invite individuals to search their memories for feelings. After asking, we might wait for a moment before calling on someone to respond. Even those who do not speak will be thinking of spiritual experiences. That will invite the Holy Ghost.”1
  • “The major role of a teacher is to prepare the way so that the [students] will have a spiritual experience with the Lord. … All true gospel teaching is done by the Holy Ghost. … We must be careful not to get in the way. … The most important thing a teacher can do is to help the student feel the Spirit of the Lord.”
