"What I got from the class is that when dealing with more than one student, you have to provide several approaches to a topic." There is a classic question in eduction: Which teacher is the most effective; 1) The one that stands in front of the desk, 2) the one that stands behind the desk, or 3) the one that stands on top of the desk? The actual answer is the one that does all three, for the very reason that Liz describes. In reality that old classic question actually misses the entire point of what it takes to have learning occur in the classroom. It is really not about the teacher, it is about the student! The real question is what are the learning styles in the classroom and how can we provide developmentally appropriate enviornments to match up to those learning styles so we get the most learning occuring with the time alloted. Todays effective classroom needs learning going on in many ways! Bravo to you Liz for your committment to all students.

I've discovered your blog 10 minutes ago. I think I am going to stick to it for a while. This is exactly what I need. A slow pace introduction to electronics. Just got my Arduino Mega tonight. I am a bit overwhelmed. Love the way you write and teach. You are a very warm and kind teacher. Will browse you blog some more now. Good luck ! Hi Liz ! I’ve discovered your blog 10 minutes ago.
