Throughout CEP 812, students have been pushed to think about ways to increase questioning in their lives. This is something I am passionate about because I believe questioning helps to improve the educational system. I ask questions when I feel something needs to be changed or I do not understand. I feel we still need to question aspects of education to find better strategies for teaching and learning. Through continuous questioning educators are constantly trying to better the system for learners.
I believe staying curious and questioning how we educate students will improve our school systems. I am constantly trying to find new teaching methods to use in the classroom. I understand that we benefit when we work with others. Using those in my Professional Learning Network, I ask questions on techniques they have found beneficial in the classroom and use this information to improve my teaching trait. I try to satisfy my curiosity through conducting research, reading educational text, participating in professional development and pursuing a Masters of Arts in Educational Technology.
Friedman stated that one's passion and curiosity can amount to something greater than your IQ, (Friedman, 2013). I explain this further in my presentation where I share how passion, curiosity, questioning and technology are all beneficial traits to possess in the field of education.
