Visit 9 - Reflections

My reflection for observation visit 9...

One approach that I liked is the fact that the teacher sat next round the middle table next to a disruptive student. This student stopped fidgeting immediately and I could see that he felt also proud that the teacher chose to sit next to him. Personally, I liked this method since it maintains order in the class without having the teacher correcting students all the time and wasting time changing students' places.

Although I like the fact that the teacher showed parts of the internal system (RAM slots etc.)when explaining computer architecture, however I found it quite disturbing that he didn't pass on mobile equipment such as the fan and the data cables especially because students sitting at the back found it difficult to see the objects properly. In this case, I think it's more appropriate to distribute the objects to the students so that apart from helping them getting the feel of what a real computer system is all about, furthermore they are gaining confidence in this field by having a closer look at how things work.

Now... my last post for today coming up soon :)
