Amy O. never seizes to amaze me with her excitement, intelligence, and interesting thoughts and ideas.... I always get introduced to something new when Amy O. shares. Her ARCS lesson showed me how motivation can be a key factor in implementing the lesson rather than a reward at the end of the lesson, which is more often the way I use motivation in my special education classroom. What a strong suggestion that could keep my students intrigued throughout rather than just extrinsically motivated!
Thank you to all for being so prepared and participatory for my Constructivism lesson. You made it a lot of fun for me to teach. I was so glad to hear you all found the subject interesting! Even though Constructivism seemed foreign to me when I signed up to present it, I realized that by putting together some of my strategies that I already apply, I can have a constructivist approach to teaching in a snap! I also realized that I can find ways to "set the scene" more often by pulling ideas from their reading selection ahead a time and create the opportunities to visually make connections. Overall, it was a lot of fun presenting and has inspired me to incorporate strategies from this theory more often based on the responses and feedback from all of you!! Thank you, again!!
