"What I've Learned This Year" by Mr. McClung

At the Teacher's Desk

Understanding your audience is very important. If you don't keep their attention, they will not comprehend what you are saying. I agree that your student will get more out of the lesson if it is a student center lesson. While reading the crowd you have be flexible because everyone make mistakes. We must KEEP LEARNING. And in our process of learning, we must respect our fellow co-workers and our students. Communication is the key to success. Knowing how and when to correspond with a student can make all the difference in their life. I know when I entered the 9th grade their was a teacher name Ms. Greene that kept me under control. She was the only teacher I would listen to and I really feel she is the reason I finish school with an advance diploma. Ms. Greene set high expectation but was always there when I needed someone. She is one of those teachers that, I can truly say, listens to her students.

"Jump in head first...the water feels fine." This is a great statement. When I started this course I felt like I was going to drown but the more I practice the easier it is and I am glad I did not drop the course.

In Mr. McClung's World he uses videocast, podcast,power points, and he integrates youtube in his presentations. My favorite is Death by PowerPoint. This power-point has 61 interesting slides on what and what not to do in a power-point presentation. I feel that power-points should slides should be short and to the point.
