Week 9 Class Reflection

In this class beside other things, the idea of teachable moment ,which is a new concept for me, draw my attention. I think it is a very good technique to teach a student(s) what they cannot normally notice or learn in a regular situation. I think first, it requires a highly skillful teacher who should be able to recognize those specific critical situations where a student(s) can be taught something that they wouldnt normally notice or learn. Second, I think that how to teach in that moment and how to relate it to the current situation of the class so that other students can also benifit from that point is very important too. Third, the teacher should also make a judgement if that matter is worth to spend the time that he/she alotted for the main lesson. Overall, I really liked the idea of "Teachable Moments" and I think having considered the above conditions, a teacher can use this opportunity to teach students very critical things.
