Simply reading and cramming knowledge into the head for an exam does not qualify as learning. As a future teacher, I am completely against "Burp Back" education. This form of education can be described as memorizing information and simply burping it back on the test. After the test, the student will not even remember what he or she has just relayed. It is a sad way to teach and learn and definitely qualifies the teacher as lazy.
Instead of being a lazy teacher, I want to create new ways of learning. Learning through Wikis, Blogs, videos, Skype...there are already so many new ways of learning. Teachers just have to take grasp of these ways. Through my PLN, I have already discovered new resources and information to use in the classroom. If I can find this information, any teacher can. There are so many ways to grow as a teacher if we just take the time to access these ways.
