Blog Post #6: Response to the Anthony Capps Videos
By: Noah Armstrong
The interviews that Dr. Strange did with Anthony Capps were great. Having someone that is a teacher tell us about how the real world of teaching is like would have been great, but Mr. Capps is not only a teacher but one that came from USA and went through this EDM 310 class. It's nice to know that it is possible to make it through and succeed when in the middle of all the workload it can seem like an impossible task.
As far as some of the specific of the interviews I found Mr. Capps explanation of PBL (Project Based Learning) to be enlightening. He explained that rather than using PBL as a way to test to see if a student understands a concept, it should be used to actually teach and let them discover concepts and come up with solutions to problems.
Noah I also loved the way Mr.Capps explanation for project based learning. I believe that when we start teaching we will use some of Mr. Capps techniques in teaching our future students. Using PBL in a way that should be used to teach our students about many different subjects and problems around the world will help form new information to form in our student's minds.
