This assignment has made me realize all of the sources that are available through the internet. I know I have mentioned it before, but I believe that it is really important that you use different ways to teach because everyone has a different learning style. With different resources you can appeal to different students and they will be able to learn in many different ways. I have always found it easier to memorize certain things when it goes along to a tune.
In our webquest we have two youtube videos that are school house rock. Even though these resources might me considered elementary, they really do help students learn in secondary levels.
So first of all, this kid is an incredible public speaker. I wish that I had his skills. I have always believed that it is very important for teachers to believe in their students. If teachers don't believe in their students it really does show and students cant sense this. Sometimes it makes students not work as hard because they truly don't believe that their life will amount to anything. You should never give up on a student no matter how behind they are, how much they don't care, or how terrible they may be doing in school. The part about how teachers may be the only ones a child has/teachers may be the only ones that care/love them it brought tears to my eyes. It is so important that you recognize that every child is different and may not come from the same background that you did. I was lucky enough to have a lot of support from my parents, but I know that a lot of kids at my school were not in the same situation as I was.
It is also important that you believe in your staff. It is a good support system and you can really learn a lot from the people that surround you at a school. I believe that teaching is one of the hardest, but most rewarding jobs in the world. With a good support system you will be able to do things you never thought you'd be able to do.
I really enjoyed this video and I am glad that I had the opportunity to watch it.
