C4T Summary posts and comments, Project #4

The first post I read on Mr.David's blog is " Teachers are made, not born". In the post, Mr.David said,"teaching are learned activity" such as they used flawed model for understanding teaching. The teachers using the flawed model often like blaming for students for not knowing thing.

When teachers start teaching, it take ten years for them to begin to plateau in terms of their expertise. Most of educators working to improving their practice and getting feedback for their works. The best feedbacks the teachers receive are effectiveness of their work and how impact it has on students learning in their classroom. If teachers want to prove education, they need to plan schools so teachers are giving more time to collaborate and plan their work together.

Comment: Yes, I completely agree with you that teacher are made, not born. We have to learn and training to be a good teacher. Nobody perfect, teachers are learning and practicing while teaching. Teachers can learn through their mistakes and feebacks. I have same thoughts as you that if you want to improve education, we need to plan , create activity, work with the plan and build up experiences through effectiveness.

" Seven questions from my son" is the title of the post.

Here are seven questions my son asked today. Who invented buildings?

Why don't we slip on salt?

When you hold your eyes closed does more water get on the eyeballs than just blinking?

Why do hummingbirds move so fast?

Why are butterflies so pretty?

How did we get the name "people"?

Why do bees hum?

Comment: I really like seven questions from your son, Mr.David. When I was a kid, I never asked anybody questiones like that. Your child is intelligent. He wants to know how everything happened and why it happened that way. From those questions, I think your child is like and interesting in science. Asking question is a good way for kids to learn and the hints for parents to know what their kids interesting in. From that, parents can easily understand and support for their child to learn what they like.
