Thank you for your comment. I do address stem in this blog “…or some disciplines it is necessary and acceptable that students memorize course material such as the STEM fields.” My comment on teaching to the test is more directed towards K-12.

Brittany,
Thank you for your comment. My questions is more geared towards suggestions from the class rather than the readings. Do you have any feedback?

I agree it must be difficult to consider how math should be taught differently. Maybe the approach needs to move towards team based learning. You may enjoy this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW_M426V2E0.

Comment on To Blog or not to Blog by CorlH
I agree that students need freedom to blog freely while connecting their writings to course material. I think by offering students the opportunity for open-prompts it makes it a bit easier for them to develop their writing and communication skills.

I appreciate your candor and I think it is great that you are stepping outside of your comfort zone. I hope you find something out of this course that you can share with your peers.

Comment on Higher Education Isn’t Child’s Play by CorlH
I’m curious about your thoughts on blogging when it comes to standards and requirements for course work. I feel like the “fun” is taken out of the equation when there are a set amount of links, images, and words required. At that point I feel like students are just checking a box that they completed an assignment rather than encouraging students to incorporate ideas beyond class readings.
