On the first week of November I was given Nick's blog The Nerdy Teacher. On the blog Nick showcases many strategies and reflections that he had implemented in his classroom. Also, he has apparently been awarded for his hard work many times over judging by what he has posted on his wall. On the particular post he had made it was a reflection of what he had done for that particular week to catch on his other reflections. I had left a comment asking how his reflections helped his teaching career as well as why reflections help educators in general.


The second time returning to Nick's Blog, he had posted a video that he played in his sessions. This video included cartoon songs from the 80's and 90's to which those who were listening sang along to. He related the behavior to that of a classroom setting and how a little fun goes a long way, especially considering the students attention. My comment related to the video where I remarked how important it is to keep the classroom setting fun. I reminisced how in my younger days of grade school a little video or song every now and again would peak the class interest. Keeping learning fun but productive is every teachers dream, so finding the right tools to do so is detrimental.
