chapter 9 question 1

What do you see as the greatest challenge to teaching in the computer lab setting?

Teaching in the computer lab setting can present a challenge to the teacher. The greatest challenge would be teaching the concepts over and over until all students have a chance to learn it. This is because not all rooms will have a computer for every student.

semester is almost over

This semester has went by fast. I am glad that it is almost over. This class has been fun.

Fall Break

I have so much homework that it is crazy. I guess that is what I get for taking 6 classes at one time. For fall break I will most likely be doing home work that never seems to end. This weekend though I hope to be done so I can just spend time with my two girls and hubby. We have a soccer game, girl scouts, and are going to cruising the coast for a little while.

Concept Mapping

I like the idea of concept mapping. It seems to be a great way to plan a lesson and to show the student what they will learn. I think they really will enjoy getting a concept map with visuals on them rather than a list printed out. It makes learning more fun for them and makes them more eager. As for teachers, the concept map opens many great ways to gather ideas. I like the links that can be attached as well as the notes.
