"Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time" - Chinese Proverb.
Im really digging this quote because I feel as if this is not only perfect for our class but also because of all the technological advancements we are making. Numerous times my professors have told us that as future educators, we are bound to teach how we were taught. However, with all the advancements that have come we are able to use this to our advantage. Although the old traditional way of teaching and learning lacked any sort of technology, it doesnt mean that it wasnt effective. I wouldnt be disappointed if I used some of the same skills that I learned from previous teachers, however, I am really excited to incorporate technology into my classroom and I will strive for my students to learn to love these resources.
What a great quote you found! I enjoy this quote as well. As a teacher it is our job to keep our learning experience up to date, and continuing throughout our lifetime. It is our job to bring new, fun and exciting ways of learning into our classroom. No one else is going to be able to do it, if we don't! It may seem difficult at first, and I know older teachers do not like to change their ways, but mixing up your teaching will only engage your students more!
