Nice experiment!!

Last class experiment was fun. I like learning new ways in which I can teach Science. I think teaching Science has to be interactive and hands-on. Students, specially younger students, learn better when they participate and get involve during the process.

Missed class

Hello everyone.

I am sorry I missed class last Saturday. I had a terrible cold. I missed all the fun!!
Can somebody, please let me know if there are any assignments for next class and what you did in class last Saturday.

Thank you very much.

Yes, oobleck was awesome! Just wanted to tell everyone: Have a great vacation!

P.S. I might be able to bring my little cousin (a 3rd grader) to class in a few weeks. I will update all when I know for sure, so we can have fun experiements prepared.

Today's class

Today's activity was very interesting. First, I had never heard of "Oobleck" before. Second, I learned how easy it could be to do an science exercise or experiment. This activity was very helpful for me because I like learning new things in addition, to learning and experiencing how essential it is to include hands-on activities to teach our lessons more effectively. Theory is important, but speaking from experience I learn more, and retain longer what I have learned, when I can apply it. I was surprised how easy, simple and inexpensive this activity was.

Hello all

I am very excited about this blog. I like and enjoy technology and I use it not only for entertainment, but also for learning and communicating with other people. I think teachers should use all the wonderful advantages technology offers not only for communicating more often with their students, but as learning and teaching tools as well.

Blogs facilitate more efficient communication between teachers, instructors, or professors and students, and among students as well. There are many people who feel more comfortable writing than speaking, therefore, blogging is an excellent way to express our opinions, communicate, and learn from each other. I am looking forward to learn from my instructor and my classmates as well. Teaching is completely new and exciting for me. This semester is my second semester in Bilingual Childhood Education and I am expecting to learn as much as I learned my first semester. Although I love and enjoy Business Management- I am planning to have my very own business in a few years-I also have a Bachelors degree in Business Management and Finance I discovered my true love and passion is teaching. I truly believe I will be able to make a different as a teacher and cannot wait until I start teaching in my very own classroom!!

Welcome to All!!!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the Class Blog! This space will be used to post your articles (and some other assignments), exchange information, collaborate, and to have you experience blogging.

If you can type, you can blog. If you can cut-and-paste, you can blog. If you can surf the web, you can blog. There is no need to be apprehensive about blogging.

This blog is for all of us in the class.

Throughout the semester, if you have something you would like to share with the group you don't have to wait for us to meet in person to reveal it. You can now do that here.

Commenting on your classmates' posts is key to a healthy blog.

Using "Blogger" as our blogging platform will require you to have a GMail account. You will be prompted on how to do so in an email so keep an eye out for it.

Blogger has a healthy "Help" section at: http://help.blogger.com/. The "Help Resources" section (found on the right-hand side of the page) will guide you if you have any problems.

Hopefully, you will start your own blog (if you haven't already) and create a following of your own.

Bookmark the page for easy access and check it regularly as the contents will change frequently.

Again, welcome to the class and have a great semester.

E. Andre Poole
