Additional Assignment 5

The post that really stuck out for me, was the one about teachers shaming students. Teachers do tend to shame students because they do not understand. Spencer talked about that the student really enjoyed his class. The teachers then put the blame on Spencer. The teachers were saying that the reason the child did good in his class is because of the "pencils". I feel that children only succeed when they are enjoying what they are doing. Teachers should make their class as interesting as possible. In the posts "The Medium Shapes the Learning" Spencer is talking about how whatever tools you have, you need to produce. No matter what tools that are used, find a way to make it fun and allow your students to produce. In the first blog, it is talking about students should have a different way to find x. Instead of writing the formula out on the bored, allow the students to draw a picture oh how to find x. Teachers should always get to know their students. This helps tremendously. If a teacher knows their student, they will know how to communicate with them and help them understand things better in the classroom.
