Dave Hewitt's lesson was very impressive. His method is very creative and seemed effective. It made me realize that, it does not matter what technique or method we use to teach students, our main intention should focus on grabbing their attention, get them involved and make them the evaluator for their own work. However, for teachers to be able to use new techniques like Hewitt’s, they should have already mastered the subject matter and be confident and experienced enough to use different ways to teach the same concept.
I was just wondering when I was watching the video, If Hewitt was able to identify that every single student was actually involved. Usually, in a classroom, the same students would volunteer to answer the questions. So, how was he able to avoid that situation? In addition, when Hewitt involved the whole class, how was he able to detect that everybody did understand the concept so he was able to move on to the next concept?
