Coyote: Fail vs Epic Fail<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd755bbc8uw<br /><br />The students wrote down examples of Epic Fails in the laws of physics, and we discussed them after the video. It was a lot of fun, and created some great discussion. We are going to go back to the video at the end of the semester and do more in-depth analysis using what we have learned through the course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846015621297553531.post-79340815003157147212010-11-17T10:38:13.746-06:002010-11-17T10:38:13.746-06:00I completely agree Knaus.

A teacher has to teach their strengths and comfort zone to be successful, but as life long learners, I think it is a teachers duty to try and get in touch with personality of students.MZimmer557https://www.blogger.com/profile/10150141961228518238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846015621297553531.post-43193863333071426282010-11-16T20:24:20.006-06:002010-11-16T20:24:20.006-06:00I agree with your take.

I know several teachers that would be laughed out of a classroom if they even mentioned epic fail. <br /><br />I know other teachers who could say it in front of a whole class to a single student and everyone would see the humor, move on and make it better. <br /><br />You have teach within your style and somehow still connect with kids.<br /><br />Most importantly, you have to connect with your students. Get to know them, know what makes them tick, what their interests, know what they are about.BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880121067443145641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846015621297553531.post-79843184687035759412010-11-16T15:32:36.116-06:002010-11-16T15:32:36.116-06:00I was just commenting today about my student's...I was just commenting today about my student's use of the word fail in class... they are not doing it at an epic level. :P Anyway, they use it and move on and so it becomes not a bad thing to take a shot at something... sometimes it works and sometimes not.Dvora Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916308640129030865noreply@blogger.com
