W03: Reading and Wednesday Discussion:
The reading from Sternberg introduced important vocabulary I'll need to use in the remainder of this course and the UF Teach program. Table 1 on page 275 is especially important, as it differentiates the areas of learning and how to best use each teaching method. My favorite method of teaching mentioned was Analytical, as I see it as a perfect balance between forming your own opinions to gain understanding, and teaching traditionally to cure misconceptions.
The Wednesday discussion was basically a summary of the article for me. I tried to relate it to how I would use each of analytical, creative, and practical teaching techniques in a classroom setting, but most of my information obviously would come from the article. I'm glad that we have these resources that are backed by years of research, because had I not seen this I would have been teaching in "my own" way, which may not be a bad thing, but definitely not as efficient as this.
