New Insights and Their Implications

I have learned a nimber of things in this class. I think that it has been helpful to see different ways that we can teach the students. I really enjoyed the CGI approach. This approach has really made me think about the different ways I can teach in my own classroom.
I really liked how the CGI approach allows the children to work on their own ways to solve problems. I think this makes this task more interesting to the children, rather than just having the answer told to them. I also liked how they can share their ideas, so they can see what else may work, and also that there may be a better way to solve it than what they had done.
It was interesting to see the videos about this approach. This helped me to see a real example of this, making it more understandable and usable than just reading the text. I was also given the opportunity to see this approach used in a real classroom in my internship. The children really seemed to enjoy using this in their classroom, and using the children's names in the problems really got them interested in the problems. The children also were able to keep these problems in a journal, so they can look back at the old problems and explore other ways to solve problems. I think that this will be something that I can use in my own classroom that the children can carry on with them as they continue through their schooling.
