A Bit About Me

Who I am...

I am a student at the University of South Alabama and was so for about six years, due to changes in majors. I am doing Education with a concentration of Language Arts and finally settled. I am Hoping to do my masters in Education after I graduate in a field that will either involve teaching, counseling or supervising students and their learning. I have a strong interest in literary material and teaching others, which is why I chose that path in my higher learning.

...and what This Blog is About

In this blog, I will demonstrate my interests as a student of Education. I will show the different tools and teaching methods that I prefer to use on my students as a teacher. The purpose of my interests as this blog will show is to let teaching more efficient and to make my students be capable and independent adults.

Constructivism

I believe constructivism is a very important teaching method to use on children and people. Constructivism is where the learner constructs or acquires the knowledge by on their own, without someone feeding it to them. I believe that as an educator, it would be wise for me to teach my students to learn on their own or to fish on their own rather than relying on others to give them the information that they need. It also gives me the teacher the feeling of the source where my students get their information, views and opinions/ideas. Conclusively, educating my pupils through teaching them to find the answer on their own, with little or no help, builds their intelligence and character, and that is my job as a teacher.
