After watching all of the teaching demonstration videos, I got some great ideas and a

view of what it’s like to be a teacher.

All of the videos are very interesting and helpful and they give me some rips and some examples

on how I want to teach my future classroom. For example, the video HS Fine arts allows me to

see how to respond to questions for example: Why does my child need to take Pre-K? I like his

answer that certain problem solving like in math helps develop certain muscles in our brain. The

Mathematical Modeling video shows one of the teachers doing an application of the lesson at the

beginning of every lesson, giving every student a chance to see what they will be learning about

and ways they can see it in the real world and that’s something I definitely will use in my

classroom. Another of the things I liked was when the teacher in the video Grades 7-9 English

Language Arts talked about a word and told the students what the word meant to him but he

never said “this is the correct definition”. This allowed the students to come up with what it

megarads 7-9 English Language Artist to them and that’s what I like because I believe every

student has a right to form their own opinions and express what they think or how they feel about

certain things for example when learning new things.

Something that I believe that helps students to earn new languages or just anyone is when they

use it and practice it on a daily. I like the video Teaching Foreign Language and how the teacher

has the students only speak Spanish and even when they don’t know a word or how to say

something he helps them figure it out instead of telling the students straight up. This helps

students to use their brain and memory and also gives them a feel of what it would be like in the

real world to be in a Spanish speaking country. This is one of my favorite videos because it

made me realize how much this helps students expand their knowledge about different cultures

and languages and how this could benefit them in the real world. In the art student role video, I

enjoy and like how the teacher associates’ words with dance moves and makes the students tell

her about different dance moves they could do. It is also so neat how when the students are

dancing the teacher will encourage students to move and dance in any way and encourages them

and builds them up and lets them know that all dance moves are great. Getting active and doing

hand signals or dance moves to new words will help kids better remember new words and use

them correctly. The under-construction video is something I have always believed in that

students can not really learn from just reading something and answering questions. Students

retain information when they do hands on activities and have communicate with their classmates

about what they are learning. I like the point the teacher makes in numbers and operations that

you first need to not just teach them that subtracting is taking away but its how many numbers

are away from a certain number.

All the videos had great take away and there’s a lot of things from the videos that I want to use in

my future classroom.
