Special Assignment #1

"A light bulb moment" by Dina Tillman

This image is of a boy wearing his thinking cap.

Dina Tillman, an alumni to EDM310 posted the Youtube video Piano Stairs to the EDM 310 Alumni Page. Piano Stairs is by Rolighesteorin, a name of which I have no clue how to pronounce. This video was part of The Fun Theory.com, which is sponsored by Volkswagen.

Dina wanted to share this video to show us the type of teacher she wants to be, and the type of teacher we all should be, creative. As a result of watching the video, I could not agree more with Dina. I commented on her post stating how the majority of people chose the fun route. Theories such as this should be incorporated into our classrooms; as we all know, children would much rather take part in a fun lesson. They may actually retain the information being taught and learn without realizing it. Incorporate more ART, along with other FUN and CREATIVE ideas! You can consider me inspired!
