I like to use plain language when introducing new terms Socratically. It is important that students have a notion of choice in the classroom and a feeling of responsibility for their own education. It is important to stay abreast of current theory and research in the field of teaching and pedagogy. A teacher must know what to teach as well as what is the best way to teach it. Students should take away new insights, explanations, and skills.
All students are capable and have something to contribute.
They can bring new insights to the class or raise questions about a subject not yet considered. Technology is important in the classroom since it is a vehicle for instruction and can be an invaluable tool for addressing different learning styles. It allows students to become more involved in the processes of learning rather than focusing on the product that they produce. Sometimes, focusing on the process leads to a better product. Technology is a means of accomplishing more, to allow for improved learning and teaching, and should not be used as a end unto itself.
