Tourism & Technology Thursday...

I have been trying to add a lot of innovation to my teaching this semester.  Perhaps even too much as I came with a lot of ideas that I wanted to try.  This has led me to think of the fundamentals of my teaching last night.  Then I watched this TED Talk...



I have gotten away from my story telling.  The key to any successful teaching is the relaying of stories.  In my desire to be new and innovative in my clasroom, I may have been forgetting to link to the 'so-what.'  Time to re-examine my strategies a little.  I have to remember that the adolescent brain is developing, so are my strategies and expectations suitable given brain development.
