CGI

I think that Cognitively Guided Instruction is a great idea.  I always learn better when I'm able to come up with my own way of doing the problems, and actually have time to do them.  It makes you look at math instruction in a completely different way.  What is the point of having the teacher stand in front of the class and work the problems out for the students.  It makes more sense to have the students figure it out on their own and learn the problems by doing it themselves.  I thought the video (as funny as it was) was a great way to show effective CGI demonstrations.  I thought it was great to have each student show how they got the answer to the problem because it shows the other students other ways and ideas of solving the problem.  I will definitely be using CGI in my classroom.
