Reflection 3

I really enjoyed and would love to implement a few things Geoff taught us today in class. It was about how you learn by teaching (specifically when teaching a tech class). So I just want to include the tips Geoff taught us along with a few insights or things that I thought of on my own.

Step One: Teach the class (Sometimes use a student as the driver)
-Always ask follow-up questions to make sure the students understand (check for understanding)
-Make the assignment requirements clear.

Step Two: Have the students get into pairs with one of them driving and the other one instructing. The driver must not do anything except what the instructor tells them.

Step Three: Switch. Have the driver instruct and the instructor drive.

Doing this has the students learn by listening, teaching, then finally learning because of the rule of 3.
