Redefining Teaching

Have you ever been in a classroom where the teacher has you do something you've never even heard of before, and you come out thinking "wait... what just happened?" But like, in a good way? Like, you walk out of the classroom understanding something you never thought you'd understand at all? That's what teaching at the redefinition level does. It uses technology in a way that makes the learning impossible without it.
Personally, I think that this is the best way for anyone to learn. This is what's called "sticky" learning.

When any of us see, hear, smell, touch, taste, or do something completely new or experience something unexpected, we tend to remember it better. With kids in the classroom today, traditional lecture-style teaching is BORING. They have connections to the entire world on a device that fits in their hand... and it's SITTING IN THEIR POCKET!! Why are we denying them the use of these devices? Kids could learn almost everything they needed to know in high school by finding it on the internet (because that's how they study anyway!).

I'm exited to try and plan lessons using the technology! If I can redefine a lesson and teach kids something in a different and more innovative way, I think they will learn a lot more than if I stand up there and lecture them for 50 minutes everyday.
