New Insights and Their Implications

I think the best thing that I learned from this class is how to teach differently.  We learned from a study called TIMSS, which showed the United States that we are behind in our way of teaching that we need to do something different.  From this study we found that we need to teach like some of the other countries are teaching which is in a constructivist manner.  We also talked about why constructivism is important in the classroom.  We learned that students and everyone comes to know, with their knowledge.  Everyone needs to build off of there existing knowledge that we have processed.  If I can learn to teach in a constructivist manner then I will be helping future students.
