Inspiration in the Classroom

Inspiration is a very useful classroom tool. Personally, visual stimulation in the classroom is very important to the learning process. I like to be able to see pictures because it allows me to remember and store information. I would use this technology to create visual aides that will show my students specifically what I'm speaking about. Lecturing can become very boring to me and I can only learn so much that way. I feel that hands on activities, such as writing, along with visuals will enhance the learning environment immensely.
Writing is an essential tool to the learning process. The types of writing activities I could utilize would be research over a specific period of theater. I could divide the students into groups and give each group a specific period to cover. They could collaborate together and create a presentation with a paper that describes that topic. The students can divide the topics of that period between themselves and then come together and put their research in one group paper. I believe that this would be a writing activity that I could use in my classroom.
