“Decoding Our Youth”September 21, 2012 Notes from workshop outlining how classes must change with respect to changes in our youth.
My goal is for students to be • Independent workers • Good organizers • Proactive • Critical readers • Able to explain and analyze • Able to get “unstuck” • Skilled in the lab • Problem solvers; to think • Properly prepared after sec. IV for physics and or chemistry • Able to connect ideas, relate concepts and apply
My intentions are not to • Cause students to grow up faster then they should • Create undo stress My intentions are • to teach them to be independent like a CÉGEP • student • give them the responsibility expected after sec. 5 • teach them good “student skills” they likely • do not already possess
With respect to technology in class • Teach students they need to disconnect while in class • In the “world of work” is technology used whenever workers wish???? • Disrespectful to pay attention to technology item rather than teacher/student instruction • Maybe we could “flip the classroom”?
