Extra Blog #2

I decided to do my 2nd extra blog on Dr. Bogad's class as a whole. I thought it was a fun class and i was able to communicate and feel comfortable with classmates and Dr. Bogad. She did associate all of these authors into her class in a way where she demonstrated everything that they did. A few examples were Delpit's rules and code of power when he showed us how talking to a student in a certain way can help in teaching methods and Shor's banking theories by giving us that random test and not giving any instructions. That's like expecting us to teach ourselves just as pushing information into our heads and expecting us to know the answers. The group work allowed us to learn the opinion of others and see things differently in the eyes of others. It helped us all to become better teachers by hearing stories of other and seeing how they dealt with issues that came up in their classrooms. The service learning project allowed us to become more in touch with what being a teacher is really like even in the hardest of places to teach. It tossed us issues that will be just as hard as any we will probably face in the classrooms we will be teaching in so we will be ready for them when they occur. I enjoyed the class and thought that it was made fun not just a whole bunch of tests and information of what to do but demonstrations, activities, and ideas of how to do things. The best part about the whole things was NO TESTS OR EXAMS!!! Took a lot of pressure off for the rest of my classes for the semester.
