personal theoretical frame work

My view on how students learn is how anyone that knows me and understands how i was raised would say, "Make learning fun for kid but keep he or she guessing and thinking. I don't try to be something that I'm not and be legit with teaching. In my opinion a child will learn if you get down to their level of thinking and take something of their interest and put it into the lesson. I believe the best way i can get my class room to stay with me during the lesson and not even scratch the day dreaming world is by giving them a reason to want to listen to you. When i was in elementary school many of my teachers rarely caught my attention. it wasn't just cause i was a little kid wanting to go out and play. It was because they went through the motions way too much. They also acted like they had better things to do and being there was just for the pay check not the want-to. I like teaching in a creative but active way. Some big shot professional well-mannered teacher might say that's to liberal but if you really want the kids attention give them something they want to learn about that connects to the lesson. Most of my teaching will be mainly hands- on but occasionally I'll throw in movies on the wide screen. Have the kids type up there responses so that they can get familiar with typing on a computer. Who knows? maybe some of my science lessons or math lessons might connect to video games and explain how it works. My biggest strength is being able to connect with a child that has trouble with his or her learning abilities because thats the way I used to be in elemantary school. My weakness will probably be my inability to be patient with bullies because it will remind me way too much of my elementary years of being bullied.

Digital Generation

I have always thought that i have been a bit of a brainyack at technology. Many of my friends know how to run technology and be productive with it but i've always strived to be more specific. When i was in 5th grade i hacked my first pc in the computer lab. Ever since then i have been and digital and techy wiz all the way. I have quite a few college friends that are superior to me now in this field of education and technology but i still can handle them on occasion. Now if you want to take my experience into older peers i am probably more educated. My dad is better than me by far but he still doesn't know how to hack. I can't say anyone back at my old highschool knows more either because my friends in highschool that i graduated with were the pc wizzes. There maybe a few geeks left that know alot about computer and technology but not very many. The portraits of these kids i could probably out hack more than anything else. The gamers if i knew what games they played or what server I.P. s they were at i could probably crash them but i havent done something like that in 5 years or more. I can't say i didn't know how to do alot of the power points and excel workouts because i generally knew how to just never really was put into the position to have to do it. But i have learned a little more than i what i did before so yes i can say to an extent i am renewed in my education.
