 Digital Blog Post #C

Reflecting back on chapter three,there were some distinct concepts that caught my attention.I read those with more depth and reflected upon them as if i were a teacher myself and as a current student.Those three concepts that had me a little bit more intrigued were,the concept of student center approach,active learning & digital citizenship.

First and foremost,the concept of a student center approached intrigued me and makes sense to me as well,because as a student and as a future educator,i tend to agree with this approach for the most part.This approach is fundamentally practical,because it takes classroom engagement and blends it with real life scenarios.This leads the student to formulate,hypotheses and opinions on unanswered questions and helps the student resolve important questions based on what she or he has learned in the classroom. Examples of student centered approached,would be online learning and interaction. quizzes..etccc. One such example is here  Freshman English of a active student centered engagement.

The second concept, that i reflected upon was active learning. This is the form of learning,which best fits me and as a teacher i would assume it does with most students, but not all.Active learning is defined as a process whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content.This to me is the most natural and most basic form of learning. As teachers according to the book, we will have to work with the preexisting understanding that students bring with them to class and incorporate them as part of the discussion.

The last concept, is an important concept especially because of the world we are living in now.Digital Citizenship is a concept that talks of our digital footprint in the online world.Such as a regular citizens of a nation has to abide by rules and regulations,so to people who have social interactions online. If we as a natural citizen of a country commit a crime we get punished.So to we also have rules and regulations in the online world such as cyber crime,hacking copyright infringement.The book talks of having moral and social responsibilities online as a digital citizen, just like we have it in a country.
