THE BOTTOM LINE
FACE IT
Nobody owes you a living.
What you acheive or fail to achieve in your lifetime is directly related to what you do or fail to do.
No one chooses his/her parents or childhood but you can choose your own direction.
Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome but that too is relative to each individual.
NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE
You can change anything in your life if you want to badly enough.
Excuses are for losers.
Those who take responsibility for their actions are the real winners in life.
Winners meet life's challenges head on knowing there are no guarantees and give it all they've got.
It's never too late or too early to begin.
Time plays no favorites and will pass whether you act or not.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
Dare to dream and take risks.
If you are'nt willing to work for your goals, don't expect others to.

I learned that I am teaching "Generation Z!"
ReplyDeleteI thought the lesson was great...very informative Dr. Mayfield. I love blogging!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful way to connect to Generation Z!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI found the class to be very informative. Learned about blogging and how it can be implemented into my lessons.
ReplyDeleteI love to read blogs, but have nevered blogged. I agree that this is an excellent way to connect with Generation Z and I plan to implement this into my lesson next year. Thanks Dr. Mayfield
ReplyDeleteI learned about Generation Z and how I can reach these students in new and innovative ways...I really enjoyed the lesson...
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the comments. Class two, what is our curriculum really providing Gen Z? Are students engaged enough in secondary school? Is secondary education a right or privilege? The debate was off the chain!
ReplyDeleteI am coming back from out of town, and just heard about the problem in Chicago with violence and students scared to go to school. Do you think Memphis could be that extreme one day?
ReplyDeleteI definitely think that Memphis can end up being a potential Chicago. I've seen parents having to come to the school to get their children's work because they have received threats and are in fear of being attacked while at school. There have been several recent fights involving numerous students lately. If nothing is done, the situation is going to worsen. Everything that currently is being done, is obviously not working.
ReplyDeleteI did find Class 1 to be very informative. I'm currently not teaching and I know that I will have a task ahead of me, but I do feel that the various learning activities that we do on Saturdays will help me in class once I start teaching. I also like the blog activity although I've never blogged, but it has been interesting working on the assignment and reading students' responses.
ReplyDeleteI found class one to be very informative and interactive. I have always admired the course that our classes have taken. There is never a dull moment and that is good. There is always a "thing that make you go hmmmm" and class one was that for me. I think that coming up with more creative ways to teach the students that are apart of generation z is a great idea. All aspects of teaching don't have to change but incorporating new things is wonderful and I believe will engage the students that we teach and will teach.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the lesson on Generation Z as well, and I don't think I will always be open for new ways to understand and educate these students. I also feel that many students here are probably already scared to come to school, due to bullying,etc. I do feel that there is going to have to be some type of radical change/intervention if we want to prevent Memphis from becoming a scary place for students to go to school.
ReplyDeleteGeneration Z was a great lesson! There are so many ways to teach students. Fun and creative ways to educate students of generation Z makes learning for them so much better. Using various ideas and techniques to help students learn and retain information makes it a whole lot easier on the students as well as the teacher.
ReplyDeleteIn class one, I learned that the power of rap lyrics, particularly those lyrics that are current to the generation of students we teacher are in tune with. I feel like most of my cohortees; that there is never a dull moment when it involves Dr. Mayfield and Cohort VIII. As far as having the ability and talent to teach generation z, I am on board and ready for the challenge. I used the lyrics written by Drake in class later the folowing week. Not only did my students love it, but one of my teammates was impressed as well. Thanks Dr. Mayfield!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard exactly what is occurring in Chicago, but I do think that Memphis is a city where students who attend some inner city schools already are dealing with violence in the school and are afraid. Our city is a lot smaller than Chicago and to have as many incidents as we do of violence in schools rates us up there with a metropolitan city such as Chicago; in turn paining a more negative picture of Memphis.
ReplyDeleteThe issues that secondary students face are acceptance. I placed an acne web link on page because I have students who suffer from acne in 7th grade and are ridiculed for that. I felt that they may need more information on how to help deal with acne as well as treat it.
ReplyDeleteWe are teaching generation z. Very inspiring!
