Understanding Confusion | h walks into a bar 

https://hwalksintoabar.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/understanding-confusion

H walks into a bar. A physics teacher walks on the web. Asymp; 2 Comments. More and more, I not only try to teach Physics, but I try to teach my students something about learning as well. I want them to know that when they struggle, their experiences are normal. They’re in the 9th grade. They are just learning to think. Learning to think necessarily drags one through…. And you know what? This is a good thing. All of the sudden, their brains are in conflict with their guts. Hooray! Believe me, some folks.

Don't want to use two different platforms at the same time. Maybe later.). Posted by Michael A. Rees. Do You Trust Me?

Education from the Student's Perspective. An attempt at an edublog from a student in southeastern Colorado. Here goes nothing! Wednesday, January 4, 2012. So here I am. It's after 11:00 at night, on the last day of break, and what am I doing? Trying to finish work for school I technically should have done several weeks ago. Why do I consistently do this to myself? But, although I do sometimes enjoy cranking out work in this frenzied manner, after a while, it becomes somewhat tiresome. However, the more I...

I am tired of overhearing statements like:. I don't like the teacher, but I love the worksheets.". That class is an easy A.". A grade can (huge emphasis on "can") show how much of a curriculum you've mastered. But what happens when you get rid of the curriculum. Posted by Michael A. Rees. December 1, 2011 at 6:59 PM.
