Unlearning #3
Will Richardson writes, "We need to unlearn the notion that our students don't need to see and understand how we ourselves learn." I completely agree with Will here. It is extremely important for students to see how we learn. For instance modeling how we write. Our writing process could be something that we model for our students. Students want to know how their teachers think, and what our thought processes are.
Going back to my previous two posts, I think it is important for students to teach the teachers about technology. Let them teach you then they can see how you, as the teacher learn. Learning is something we all do everyday. We have no reason to make anyone believe that we as teachers know absolutely everything. Because we certainly don't. So in my opinion, students should know how teachers learn and think!

I totally agree with the notion that teachers DO NOT know everything. To put it very informally, it is as though teachers dominate in old school knowledge and our students dominate in the new school knowledge. ha sorry...told you it was informal! Think of how that engages a student/students in the classroom if they show their teacher a new thing or two! It will actually make kids WANT to come to class!
