Teaching tip #29

Get The Students Out of the Classroom

I don't mean to take them out on the roof, but again, do something a bit different.  If you're teaching science, do a lab outside.  Collaborate with another teacher (if possible) and have your classes do a project together.  Take advantage of the library/media center/computer lab (whatever your school has to offer) and get the student doing research - papers, PowerPoints, Excel documents....

These things should (of course) be relevant to your class and the topics you're teaching, but like I mentioned in my last post, doing something out of the norm will hopefully spark something in them that will allow them to remember the topic and class.
