How has this course changed or not changed your perceptions of teaching math?

This course has so far completely changed my perceptions of how I will teach math to my future students. Thus far, I never questioned how I would teach math because I never before saw a flaw in the way that I was taught. However, being that this course requires me to think so much more in depth than I ever had to in my elementary, middle, or even high school days, I have realized that I was probably not taught the best way. I personally like the new way that I am being taught to teach, because I think that it is a better way for my future students to learn. When students need to use their peers and their own mind when learning, I think that the actual learning process is then better than just having a teacher stand at the front of the class and talking about concepts. This new way of teaching will in my mind be better because it allows students to connect concepts instead of just move on front one concept to the next.
