As Aristotle said, "Well begun is half done." It is my belief that a
thorough, well organized lesson plan is in any educator's best
interest! Beyond the lesson plan instead of expecting students to
adapt to instruction I find it most beneficial to develop a
multi-faceted instructional approach as deemed critical by the
Differentiated Instruction philosophy. This will enable me to
address more learning styles and developmental levels. More
specifically in my Educational Technology classes I like to provide
a visual representation to support my lecture. In addition to
lecture it is important to provide students with demonstrations of
technology, hands on experience, collaborative learning
opportunities, and practical exercises for retention/transfer of
knowledge. Having an eclectic approach to education, I believe that
noteworthy contributions have been made to the field of education by
many researchers and practicing educators.
