I really liked the different ideas in this video. Project based learning and technology integration were my favorites. Projects were always my favorite part of learning and school and even when at work. It's a chance to display your knowledge on what you worked really hard to learn. Also, you get to display your creativity to yourself, your teachers and your peers. Parent Involvement is really important as well. If you have a parent who is passionate about their students education then you will almost always have a successful student. Our parents are our partners and involving them is more important than almost anything else we do. Also, from the other side of involving parents if we are involved with the parents we can see what kind of environment that specific student resides in which will in turn help us to figure out what that one child needs from us.
Of course technology integration is important as I've made evident in my other postings. Very, very important to developing our students for the world outside of the classroom. I also really liked the Emotional Intelligence idea for the classroom. I think we sometimes forget how much how a student feels affects how they learn and interact. If they are being bullied at school or abused at home that child is going to shut down. If we incorporate other or more ways to find out how our students feel emotionally we can put what we learn towards how we teach. Emotions dictate life. Especially when you are so young and you don't necessarily have control over your emotions.
