Dr. Mangione let us choose a video to watch, Can we Believe our Eyes or Lessons from Thin Air. I chose Can we Believe our Eyes. Below are some notes and thoughts on what I took from this video. I'm glad I chose this video for many reasons. I've listed some key points that stood out to me while watching this video.
NOTES
*Science and technology are moving faster than we can keep up.
*If one can't fundamentally light a light bulb with a battery then everything built upon those ideas won't be understood.
*Teach students not only hands on, but heads on.
*Our minds reject things that don't make sense.
*Learn to listen to others' reasoning.
*Students spend less time learning in the classroom than life.
*Letting go of beliefs is hard because it is emotionally taxing to learn a new idea.
*Be very purposeful in what you're doing, it may seem open ended, but working towards a goal.
*Highly intellectual students get frustrated when the answer is not black and white.
*It's important for students to take ownership and responsibility of their learning.
*Key role of a teacher is to express ideas, test ideas, and understand which ideas are most powerful. Then scientific ideas will rise to ultimately give students a better understanding.
THOUGHTS
*Engage in discussion and reasoning and end with experiment to get evidence
*Trying wrong way is important
*Put students in the teacher's shoes and have them teach you what they learned
*Don't teach by telling
*Let students talk themselves into answer
*Taught and learned are different
