New Challenges and Opportunities In Chenven's 2250
This is my first entry and in my first ever blog and it took me way too long to finish a simple task. I am looking forward to the challenges and opportunity ahead, however it is a massive change from my norm over the last two decades. There are many things to learn and in the beginning i will be less inclined to speak and strive towards active listening. The discussion in the first class was dynamic and positive and filled with a broad range of diversity. The creativity employed to get through the Syllabus was refreshing and helpful in getting a feel for what is to come. The use of small group discussions and healthy dialogue is far more preferable than standard lectures. I look forward to the work to come and obtaining a better understanding of the foundations of education that will be essential in the classroom if i am fortunate enough to progress to that point.

Hi Robert, this is my first-ever blog, too, so I know how you're feeling. 2250 is different from any class I've experienced. In my years of graduate school, I think only twice did I ever "break into groups." This is all so strange, but, hey! I'm up for something new. I think it will be a fun way to learn what we need to know to be good teachers.
