Power Teaching...?



The ultimate goal of teaching. Student-centered. Student-interactive. Students teaching each other. It's so far from what I experience in reality that it's like a foreign language to me. I suppose something like this is possible but would demand a bit too much from my bubbly personality quota for any given week. I would just get frustrated and go back to chalk and talk.

Videos like this make me feel bad that I'm not in complete control. It sucks but I know that things are going to be different next fall. Youtube is surprisingly useful, along with TeacherTube. So check out the cool science demo videos.

You'd probably have to be pretty high energy to consistently teach like this... I wonder how effective it would be with HS students...

That honestly scared me. Lol.... there is no way I could do that in a classroom. I got tired after watching the video let alone using it all day in the classroom :-)
