In class today, we talked a lot about active learning. We got up and met some new people and talked about what kinds of active learning we had experienced. It seems to me that active learning is a much better approach so that the students will make better meaningful connections. This way they will learn in a fun way and its more fun for the teacher so they don't have to just stand up and lecture! We then went outside to take a class picture, which was nice because it was about half way through the class. I also learned that you should onlly stay on one topic for about 10 minutes, then change things up so the students don't get bored.
