I should be Teacher of the Year because of the way I view teaching. Learning should be fun! Students should be up out of their boring old seats if you want them to learn. The different teasers I have on my magazine "Educational fun with insects, nature art, and active outdoor games", "A trip around the room using math?!", Technology is a sure bet to get any child's attention!!", Science experiments are highly recommended!" and lastly "Is spelling really that awful? Spelling games that will make every child want to spell!!" proves my thoughts about learning being active.
When you think of math being taught you get a picture in your mind of a classroom with a teacher in the front of the room by the chalkboard with equations and students in their desk coping down the notes. What if you could take them around the world? With today's technology you can do just that without ever leaving the classroom. The students would have to buy tickets and hotel rooms, find out where they are going with longitude and latitude, and you could tie in other subjects as well. What's the weather normally like in that country? What's the culture? Do they do any unusual sports? What do they eat? Learning could be so much more fun with just a little imagination!
In my magazine I feel like I am using plain folk and association as my tools of persuasion. Plain folk is pretty obvious because I am not a celebrity or a world known teacher. With association I tried to get the children's attention by talking about things they would be interested in. Everyone is interested in ways to make learning more fun.
