Reflection 8

While in class watching the other students teach, I noticed most people lectured rather than taught. We talked about the difference. We learned that we shouldn't treat students as empty vessels, we should assume they already know something, and build on previous knowledge. But we also need to be careful not to go to fast, just because, one student or even half the students know something, it doesn't mean that the students that didn't raise their hands know. We should ask who knows, then make sure to have them or you explain what they already know. If they already know it, you shouldn't spend too much time on it.
