Motivation by Tony Gurr

I found Tony Gurr's blog very interesting and  I really enjoyed going through his blog blog, because I found his teaching style very different and nontraditional. Tony's style was new to me and so at first i found it very confusing, but I eventually got accustomed to his great style.

During class Ms. lees showed me Mr.Tony's blog and i found it very fascinating and i was immediately intrigued, especially when she told me that Tony created his own graphics. While i was scrolling through his blog i stopped at this picture because the title " GREAT TEACHers" really caught my eye, and while reading the photo i found

Myself agreeing and giggling, because it's the plain truth. For example in the past i had a teacher that would just give us notes, and then a worksheet, notes ,worksheet and the same thing EVERY SINGLE DAY , and eventually i started to really dread going to that class and i just didn't find myself learning, and i was confused with the curriculum and i was really unmotivated.

One of the points i found really important was " great teachers treat students with respect and caring attitudes". This points is important, because i think that us students do not learn if we are intimidated or scared of our teachers, who are supposed to be caring, our mentors, and importantly our friends. If a student is too focused on the intimidation of their teacher, then they will be less focused on what they are learning, which would eventually lead to their grades dropping.

I agree with Tony Gurr 100% that teachers need new ways to deliver our course material to give us more motivation of wanting to learn. We need more life-like experiences in our curriculum, and more freedom to explore what we know and what more we can know. Both kids and children need to take the first step to motivate one another, and when they are i truly believe that's when the really learning will begin
