I was very surprised when I learned I would be teaching a digital imaging class. I guess I shouldn't have been, but I think that any computer applications classes would be hard to teach using the Marzano strategies. I am supposed to start teaching on Monday, and I am a little concerned that I won't be able to display my teaching abilities in a very effective way while teaching photoshop.In the class that i am observing I sometimes struggle to see any Marzano strategies, except the very obvious one--the teacher really has a good grasp of offering kinesthetic ways to learn. She had some of the students play basketball while others took digital pics of them in order to study the effect of shutter speeds during action. The chapter in the book was dedicated to just that, and included many examples and pictures, but they weren't really paying attention, so she decided on this energizing activity. It went over well, and the students did well on the learning survey at the end of the period. Oh, and by the way, I also will be having a clinical 1 student observing me. can they do that?
