Wk 4-Reading CH. 10-12
I love how the author took the blame for the mistake during a performance. I had a professor in college who when the class did poorly on a test tell us, "I am sorry. I must not have taught this particular curriculum well. I will reteach it and again, my apologies." That has stuck with me through the years and I have had to say that to my students. It is important to not place blame on everyone else but to accept some of it as your own. It is not us (teachers) vs them (students), it is we as a class and we as a school. So I will try to be the whole board, not just a game piece.
My comments: Fuel on the fire
Cherie,
I think the simple fear that spawns from blame or assigning fault is one of the reasons that teachers hesitate to implementing technology. Some are afraid to make mistakes or lose a little bit of authority by simply asking someone in particular a student for help. I think in many cases we should simply admit that we don’t have all the answers and that we are learning as well.
