Great Teachers Don't Teach
By: Ben Johnson
This article emphasizes the importance of students taking control of their own learning. In the article, Ben mentioned project-based learning and inquiry as two of the most important aspects in teaching. He mentioned that the teachers role has changed dramatically in the classroom stating "great teachers stack the deck so that students have a reason to learn and in the process can't help but learn mainly by teaching themselves" (Johnson, 2013). An interesting read for sure!
I liked your summary of the article so I went and read the whole thing. Very interesting point Mr. Johnson made. But I didn't stop there, I went to his blog and he has several excellent blogs articles there too. I decided to subscribe to his blog.
