=Welcome to Our Department Wiki= I like the way that Tom Wolken states the facts about a class of all boys: -Boys are more competitive and respond well to a competitive environment. -They respond to different colors more than girls do. I also like the way he described how he is now handling his classes (compared to what he had been doing three years ago): -Now he gives his classes more activities (rather than he uses most of the class time lecturing them). -He gives more structure (boys need structure); inform them about the expected outcomes, gives them time during which they have to do the activity, inform them that there is time to work together and there is time to listen to instructions and students should raise their hands to ask questions instead of shouting out. The use of technology: I agree with Mr. Wolken on using power point slides to display inspiration messages during the week and have the students pictures (while they were doing some school activities) displayed. The idea of using a camera to allow students to show their work to the class is brilliant. I also think Mr. Wolken had done a good job in listing the benefits of using a camera in class. As he has mentioned, the camera helps in class management and it improves students’ experience in the classroom. Finally, I believe recognition slips are very useful in motivating students to behave well and be respectful in the classroom. ||
