We all know one learns best when motivated to learn and what better way to attain this motivation than to do what you love to be involved in the process of making it happen then to be told what is supposed to happen. innovation is one of the key expects of authentic learning so you better start getting your hands dirty doing something so that you can learn it radder than hearing about how you can learn  it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            DO  DO YOU HAVE AN ON LINE IDENTITY? Well if you don't better start creating one but be carefull not to post things that Will tarnish your reputation and completely ruin you in every expect of tour life. social media can be so much fun its limitless you can Brag, find yourself Prince charming however beware of the frog thing. You know expecting man to turn to our image of expectancy can be disastrous and worst of all the one on his or her profile picture may not be the one you are chatting with. put that in mind before meeting him in his own territory at his own terms you may not make it out alive.

the teacher as a reflective practitioner

As a teacher you need to constantly reflect on your practise. You must reflect in practise, on practise, and for practise. you need to be aware of the fact that no two lessons can be the same when you reflect in practise you are constantly engaged in this self talk were you assess the lesson you see weather or not they understand you. during this reflection process you note they are not getting you what can you do to reach them what other way can you  explain this content or topic so that they can get your point. when reflecting on practise you look back on the lesson "what happened?" "what can I improve?" "what went well?" you consistently give yourself feedback on the lesson so that you can improve. reflection for practise is looking ahead "what could go wrong?" "what should I prepare"? "what if this does not work"? this helps you to anticipate what the lesson may entail what could be a treat and misconceptions the students may have on the topic.
