Looking professional...in other words, dressed to kill!

Today is a great day! It is a day to dress up, to look smart. 
Today we will hold the panels on the subject of "Learning Theories and Teaching Methodologies". Our discussion will start off by discussing some of the issues you wrote about on the answer sheet  from the video "The Wall".  

Panels will be formed by teams of students according to how you worked on the answer sheet last class. The panel will have some questions given by the audience , they should discuss and agree on the turns they will take answering those questions. The session for each panel will last 20 minutes max. The will talk for about 10 minutes and then the session will open for discussion for 10 more  minutes.  


Here we go!   Look and sound professional.

We don´t need no education!

Hi, this is just one of the lines of the video we started watching last week.    Don´t you ever think it is my motto!

This Wednesday, we will watch the video The Wall by Pink Floyd. Along with that, there will be a worksheet passed around so you can answer some questions related to this video. At the end , a team discussion plus our FAMOUS PANEL of EXPERTS will be held.
