기리 세상(Gill's World)

I have  been teaching for a long time and in doing so have  acquired a body of knowlodge about kids learning  that I really wish  more people would understand  about  the potential of students.  In 1931 my grandmother  bottom left for you guys over  here  graduated from the 8^th grade.

She went to school to get the information  because that was where  the information lived.

It was in the book, it was inside of teacher’s head. She needed to go there to get the information because that’s how you learned.

Fast forward a generation. This is the one room schoolhouse Oak gorve  where my father went one room schoolhouse and he again had to travel to the school to get the information from the teacher. Store it in the only portable memory he has which is inside his own head and take it with him because that is how information was being transported from teacher to student and then used in the world.

When I was a kid we had a set of encyclopedias in my house, It was purchased the year I was born and it was extraordinary  because I did not have to wait to go to  the library to get to the information. Information was in my house and it was awesome.

 This was different then either generation had a experience before and it changed the way I interlaced with information even at just small level but the information was closer to me I could get access to it. In the time the passes between when I was a kid in high school and when i started teaching we really see the advent of internet .Right about the time the internet gets going as an education tool I tale off wisconsin and move to Kansas. Small town Kansas where I had an opportunity to teach in a lovely small town  rural  Kansas school district where I was teaching my favorite subject America government. Am my first year super kangho going to teach America government  loved political system. Kids in the 12grade not exactly all that enthusiastic  about America goverment system. Year two learned a few things  had to change my tactic  I put it in front of them an authentic experience that allow them to learn for themselves. I didn’t tell them what to do, how to do it. I posed a problem in front of them which was to put on election forum for their own community.

They produced flyers, they called offices they checked schedules , they were meeting with secretaries they produced an election forum  booklet for the entire town to learn more about their candidates . They invited everyone into the school for an evening of conversation about (the) government and politics and you know whether or not the streets were done well .
