Brenda G.'s Reflection

My reflection of today is we must be planning our teaching in the 21st century! We need to go beyond the four walls of the classroom and reach out to our global communities. As a teacher our lessons should deal with "real world problems and solutions." Our students become engaged when our teaching involves information sharing and collaboration. There is so much value in communicating with other students whether within the classroom or outside the classroom in different countries.

  1. Brenda,

    Too true! I'd really like to see our Evans students talking to other countries!

  2. Yes, in the 21st century successful instructors do flatten classroom walls and bring in the world as stated in today's session. You will need "support" from other teachers and the administration to make it happen.
