About Me...
I am nineteen years old, and I am from Mobile, Alabama. I am a sophomore majoring in Secondary Science Education at the University of South Alabama. I have always had a passion for helping others, so I knew teaching would be right up my alley. With my degree, I hope to teach Biology. I am going to be a tech literate teacher, and I plan to make sure every child in my class is the same as well.
" No Burp Back Education"
"Burp Back Education" is the concept of repeating information to the students, and then the students burping it back to you in a test or quiz.This method is not a good form of learning because it is pure memorization. The students are not retaining any information for a long period of time. From being in EDM 310, I have learned the best method of learning is doing. By that, I mean the student should do hands on learning or interactive learning. It can be ways to do this with any subject that your teaching. As educators, we should think of creative and fun ways to keep the students engaged, not just writing definitions. For example, my mother teaches her kindergartners their vowels by using foods. She brings apples for the short a vowels, acorns for long a vowels, olives of short o vowels, and so on. This sends a message that the child can easily remember. Creative teaching like this is how learning should be. Having a new and exciting lesson everyday allows the child to be excited about your class and have an open mind to learning.
