What Can We Learn about teaching and learning from these teachers? 

  After watching Brian Cosby's video, Back To The Future, I learned that teaching and learning should be empowering and that we should not try to rush students out of school. Students should be taught in ways that keeps them engaged and the teachers will realize that when students stay engaged they are learning a whole lot more. Using projects, such as the balloon project that Mr. Crosby showed in his video, allows students to have a better understanding of what is being taught because they are actually able to have hands-on experiences.
   The video Blended Learning Cycle teaches how to blend in the technology into teaching and how to do so. This video showed how to get students engaged and how to ask them probing questions to make sure that they are understanding what they are being taught.
 An amazing video to watch is Sam Pane 4th grade. This video talks about using internet safety and how to have your students not only use the internet safely but also how they can help others use it safely. Mr. Pane shows his students how to do this by creating super heroes and making comics of how to have internet safety. This is something that all teachers should teach to their students.
  For this post I watched the videos recommended gave a lot of good information about teaching and the learning process. Some of the best things that I learned about teaching and learning are using internet safety with the students and the empowerment of students.
