Cathy Sanor

On the eSchool website today, I watch a remarkably inspiring video on Cathy Sanor and her speach about how children need to be engaged.

This video talks about how teachers are starting to attend conferences involving how inquiry learning and the ability to engage children within a lesson. This is so important now because children are beginning to become less interested in school and it is up to us as teachers to rope them into our lessons.

Cathy talks about how teachers are starting to realize that through inquiry learning is when a child is going to learn best. Through these types of lessons children are able to take part within the lesson and this is going to make them want to learn the information being presented.

She also touches on the use of technology within the lesson and how this also engages the children. Not only does it engage the children but it is better preparing the children to learn and want to use technology in the future. This is a very important idea because technology is becoming so advanced it is important we keep children up to date with it and have them working with it so they can use it and excel in the future.

This video relates so much to what we are now learning in the classrooms, I loved listening to what Cathy had to say. The way she spoke about inquiry learning was beyond inspiring and certainly makes me want to use the methods in my own classroom someday!
