After watching the videos on Attention, Emotions and Learning, describe how this information impacts you as a teacher.
In the attention video, it's important to know that just because a student is in the classroom and may even be looking at you. That doesn't mean that they're paying attention. To counter this the book Teach iLke A Champion says that you should do cold calling. Say the question first to keep everyone's attention and then say the students name.
Hi David,
ReplyDeleteThat is a good strategy! Keep them on their toes :)
