CHAPTER 6 RESPONSE:
   I would find myself to prefer to work in a classroom with more digital technologies. Due to the fact that I would have unlimited access to be able to show my students things that they couldn't normally on their own. I could take pictures of leaves, moss, mushroom and load them to a computer. This way I could come back to the photos and teach students different parts of the plants. Also by having computer systems in the classrooms i could pull items up from my computer to students so that they are able to view the same things as me. By having more digital technology in the classroom students during dissection labs wouldn't have to mess with the blood and guts by hand, but rather on a digital screen.

theoretical foundations assignment

My high school science teacher used Constructivist theories for her teaching. I know this because we would do a lot of hands on experiements. Such as looking and bacteria under microscopes and determining what they were. This is how I will also teach in my classroom because I find it the best way to learn information and new things with a hands on approach. I’m the type of person that learns best when actually doing something not just reading it out of a book or being told how something should work.
