One thing that I have come to understand, first as a student and now as a teacher, is that students tend to listen more to teachers that know a bit about their student’s culture and interest. This RSS feed will help keep up with that.

ReplyDeletePedro! I couldn't agree with you more that students tend to listen better when we understand more about their interests and culture. I admire you for being so genuine and inspiring. It is obvious that you care for your students on an individual basis. I hope to connect with my future students as much as you are now making strong connections with yours.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you Pedro. Once students realize that you are interested in some of the same things they are or that you like the same music they do, you automatically become the cool teacher. I taught my students the ballet body facings to Soulja Boy's "Turn My Swag On". After that my students were all ears, no matter what I was teaching. The Lego Mindstorms seems really cool. I love the huge lego people at Downtown Disney in Florida. You will have to keep me posted on how the robot turns out.
