Digital Blog Post #C

The first method from chapter three that stuck out to me was one-on-one tutoring. Most children don't realize the important of knowing what is being taught. I was one of those students that crammed all the information I could, into my brain the night before a test. I had plenty of opportunities to ask for help from my teacher or the tutor at my school, but I was always too shy. One-on-one allows the children to get the knowledge needed for a subject by themselves. There are no distractions and the children can be open enough to ask the questions they need because they are alone.

The second method is inquiry learning. I like this method because it reminds me of the scientific method. The students don't just learn, they research and find new things out to further their learning. Some students can't just learn from a two hour lecture, they need more. I always liked investigating more on the subject a teacher was teaching and I think students nowadays would enjoy it too.

The third method I enjoyed reading about was Active learning. I really like this concept because children like hands-on and there needs to be more hands on activities for them to do. The school I work at has the child play computer games for math, reading, or writing, but it's engaging them by making them answer the questions to move on. The children ask to play these games when we have tech time and its great to me.

This chapter presented some amazing methods for teaching and I enjoyed it more then most chapter for my other classes. The three methods that I presented I will one day be using in my classroom to engage my students.
