In David Warlick's Just missed it I think teachers must own up to their mistakes. Imagine a world where nobody ever owned up to their mistakes. We would never get anything done. When anything bad happened we would be too busy trying to figure it out and who did it instead of how to solve it. And because young people, like myself, spend so much time at school, we are influenced by our teachers. Now if none of our teachers ever owned up to what they did, it wouldn't have affected us that much because parents would still teach us to be responsible for our actions. I also was astounded by was how easy it was to lie. I had heard this lie. It is that Mars would look as big as the moon but I never actually bothered to look it up to see if it was true (kind of because I totally forgot). It’s funny how a small, little lie can go so far and affect so many people. At the end of this PLN the two things that I got out of it are that a small little lie can get further than you think and that teachers must own up to their mistakes. And they might be able to use them as a learning experience. If both of these were to happen education would be much more efficient and the world would be better for it.

ReplyDeleteGood topic to write about. Remember to talk about what matters and why in your topic sentence. The topic sentence should be the first sentence including the title, and author- please hyperlink title to the original source. Also, the paragraph should be a summary of what matters, how it connects to you, to education, and to the world. You did a good job of sumamrizing but I am not so sure I understand the "llie." Make sure to connect to the world. Then, finish with a clear concluding sentence. Please redo.
