Chalk and Wire

The Chalk and Wire presentation that we had in class along with the education presentation was very interesting, and confusing to me at the same time.There was a lot of info in the Chal and Wire presentation a lot of good info that i need to know for my education minor. The presenter had a nice quick way of introducing it, and explaining it so that i understood her. The second presentation had a lot of info, and when i say a lot i mean a lot! IT confused me at first because i did not know what all I had to do to just to get into the Education department. I thought to myself that i would be in school forever by the way that she was explaining it, but then i realized what I had to do, and that I could get it done in time if I tried my best. After the presentation i waas not as confused because i got everything straight. The presenter had a good way of presenting. She got us all of the information that we needed, and had a fun aura about her that made it interesting.

lions and lambs

When i heard that we were going to watch Lions for Lambs, i was confused because i have not ever heard of this movie before. I did not know how it was going to relate to education, or to anything we were talking about. As we watched it though, i felt it related to a particular i dea that we had talked about in class. The idea that i am referring to is "good teaching". What does this mean? This movie in my opinion clarifies this for me. When Robert Redford called his student in for the conference with him it was not to badger him about showing up. I saw that the professor wanted to ask why he had not been in class, and to see if he could stimulate his intrest back in the class. His way of doing that is bribing him. this to me is good teaching because the professor is stimulating his students intrest again. He is also to me caring for his student by telling him the story of the two soldiers who were his students. He is trying to tell his student that he is gifted and needs to use his abilities to do get where he should be and make sure he does not go through what his other two students went through.
