Blog Assignment 4

When i first began to think about how i would start my student teaching i would create a safe environment where I encourage students to ask questions and give their views on the material we are covering. To achieve a classroom of true student learning I will implement strategies which create a collaborative and safe atmosphere and encourage the application of knowledge to new situations.
Independent study is not a poor way to learn but overdoing independent study is non beneficial. I would first sit kids in rows of two. I would pair the children up with a boy next to a girl and make a buddy system. When i assign classwork, the students will work on it with their buddy. I would rotate buddies every two weeks or so so that the students interact with every student in the class. I would also encourage student to always ask questions but as the teacher stop and take questions from the students.
When using technology, i would try to use what is available to me and that is beneficial to the students. In the process i would try to show the teacher some new technology that can be used.
