What do I need?

Posted by: Matthew on: April 7, 2010

Each lesson will have different materials, but the majority of them involve a computer, internet access, and some positivity!  The world wide web has tons to offer and teachers are not using it! It’s like having an encyclopedia set as decoration; useless! YouTube has a great range of topics, ideas, and videos that promote learning. Even the best schools are using it! I’m at McGill University and almost every class I’ve been in has made reference to YouTube!

If you’re not computer savvy…well…learn!

We tell our students that they need to learn algebra, trigonometry, and Canadian history. They say, “What’s the point?” We say, “It’s important”. I’m more than sure that learning how to use a computer and get around on the internet is much more useful then trigonometry will ever be!

Lukas Bergmark's blog is a great place for inspiration for the classroom, teaching, and life in general. His images are bold, bright, and beautiful--a feast for the eyes. The site is more for leisure reading and not always child friendly...so be careful! He is a Canadian born photographer who now lives in NewYork.
