Do Opposite !

the post from http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2011/09/do-opposite.html?showComment=1316801867936#c8037091957038925497 is really interesting and fresh to me.

Shelly mentions that teachers need innovation which is from
just deciding NOT to do something.

i am training to be a good teacher for students. but, what it "good" means?
how can we be a "good" teacher?

it cannot be possible only following many teaching theories or practicing the same way every time when teaching.

sometimes, teacher can have an ability to do even opposite way of teaching.

like shelly mentions that " find yourself lecturing too much? don't lecture. having trouble with the wi-fi? take the kids out for a walk.", many different ways teacher can show and i, as a student being a teacher need to keep it in mind.

in our class purpose is how to use internet tools more effectively for second language classroom.

in this sense, we can use different tools which we have never tried in classroom that could be innovation to me who have never experienced using internet tools in my language classroom.

"stop giving the paper-assignment to your students, let them sit in front of the computer and talk with you outside of classroom, on the web, on your classroom blog."

Yes, we often have to "think outside our customary box" to be effective in the classroom.
