To eliminate negativity.
My approach in the classroom thus far in the school year has been a little bit unorthodox. When I first started teaching history, on an almost daily basis, we would take notes in some form or another. Sure, I had other types of activities incorporated, but that was my primary method of getting information to students. I haven't given formal notes yet in class this year. I have some students that have told me they'd rather I do that. I want students to investigate some of this information for themselves though.
Sure, this all needs some finetuning, but if I could eliminate the negativity that some of the students have toward not having a textbook, using the Chromebooks a lot, and me not spoon-feeding them information for memorization purposes, that would make what's going on in the classroom a lot easier to work through.
I want students to have an open mind when coming into my classroom, be flexible, adaptable, and ready to learn! If I could have that superpower, oh the things we could do!!
