GeriAnn's Secret #1, Question #2
1.5 I agree with the quote: "We know that whoever is doing the "doing" is doing the learning." I have found that if I am having difficulty getting a point across, sometimes I just let a student try to restate or "teach" the concept in their own words to another student. It's thrilling to watch a student doing peer teaching and see that "AHA" light bulb go on...Occasionally I even have the students explain their "I never thought of it that way before" ideas to the class. And guess what? They get it! (Wouldn't it be wonderful if some of these peer helpers actually became future teachers?)
