Class Update: 2/10/11

Today is SPED 200 our first few minutes of class we found a partner and discussed who our favorite teacher was and why he or she was our favorite teacher, for one minute each.

We watched a news broadcast on the topic of popularity and social cruelty in schools. In the beginning it explored what makes kids popular, and the power that the popular children have over kids who are not popular. Next, it talked about the fact that kids need friends, and the ones who do not have any are the children that you need to worry about.  Finally, it went into bullying at school, and how they are trying to reduce bullying. I found this to be very informative and I think will help me in the future when I am a teacher.

We broke into groups of 3 and formed our own "Anti Bullying Campaign'. We came up with ideas and slogans and wrote them down in the form of mindmaps. Overall our class had some very good ideas, and it was a great learning experience.
