Blog Post #4
For this assignment, we were to focus on one question. What do we need to know about asking questions to be an effective teacher? There were many sources to refer to in attempt to try to understand this question. In one article by Ben Johnson called The Right Way to Ask Questions in the Classroom, he really breaks it down and is very honest about asking questions in the classroom. He explains that teachers really do not know everything and that is okay. Teachers can not just ask their students if they understand the material that was just taught. The students may not realize that they do not understand the material because they do not know enough about it. I think teachers need to ask their students questions, but they have to be asked in a certain way.

Hi Jamie! Ben Johnson was so right when he said that teachers do not know everything, but I especially like the part where he said that it was okay. This is such a relieving statement he made. It's nice to know that we are not expected to KNOW everything, but at least teach what we are supposed to know, and teach others how to learn effectively. I am glad you reminded us in your blog post, because I forgot he even said that.
