School may be out for the summer, but class is still in session!
The front-row seat-er. The drummer. The doodler. The procrastinator. The steady studier. The notetaker.
No matter what kind of student you are, and no matter what you do in video production, we’re all lifelong learners. We can always get better, and we can always learn from each other.
In education, reframing directions as “don’t” into “do” and shifting directives into actions that students should do can help them make better choices. Naming and narrating the learning environment you wish to see and be a part of sets your classroom tone. It’s not, “Don’t chew gum,” it’s, “Let’s maintain a space suitable for learning.” It’s not, “Don’t talk over a fellow student,” it’s, “Listen to others when they are sharing.”
