W02: Reading and Wednesday Discussion
The Driscoll article was great to learn the history of the discipline of teaching. It seems so obvious how each method is a failure or inefficient, but it was those failures that led us to our knowledge of how people learn. The article suggests that learning is a cycle, where all information is built off of something you learned in the past. As a future teacher, I'll have to make note of that: building knowledge off what the students already know, that way the information is more relevant and accessible.

The first discussion for Wednesday was very straight forward. Everyone presented the same information for the process of finding the circumference of the earth, since we all had equal access to resources. My reply was mostly that of awe of how they did it so accurately in the past.
