Vicki Davis seems like a really cool teacher!! She came up with creative ways to teach her students without boring them to death. Her class uses hands-on technique, which helps maintain the students' attention and increases their learning and their memory. With the way she teaches her class, the students gain more knowledge and they are more aware of what is going on.
Davis appeared more human to the students. She showed that teachers are not always perfect. She admit that she did not know a few words such as avatar, terraform, wiki, and etc. In fact, she had to look them up herself and asked her students to do the same. A couple of those words, she learned from her students. She showed how it was amazing of what you can learn from other people by working together in a comfortable environment. She was a likable teacher and made sure that everyone was comfortable with each other and she was there for them.

ReplyDeleteOur motto in this class: "I don't know. Let's find out." And let's is plural. Sounds a bit like you description of Ms. Davis.
Great observations Tiffany! Ms. Davis' demonsrtation that she is human by admitting that she doesnot know something goes a lot further to gain the studets' respect than anything else she could have done.
