Additional Assignment #5

Pencil with sunglasses on.




We were assigned to look at a blog by John T. Spencer. We were told to look at four of his posts. In these posts, Mr. Spencer does a great job telling us how he relates to his students. He also tells us how technology can relate to the classroom. He is the type of teacher who wants to get to know his students. He wants them to learn meaningful things, not necessarily fun things. If technology and language, such as metaphors, can help his students to learn meaningful and beautiful things, then that is awesome!

I think everyone should visit John T. Spencer's blog and read the posts entitled, "Just Teach Them To Solve for X," "Sketchy Portraits: 8th Grade Identity and Pencils," "He Just Likes the Class for the Pencils." and "The Medium Shapes the Learning."
