Blog Response 4

I personally think that "practice makes perfect" in many situations.  We practice things every day, like walking and talking and typing.  These are all things that have come from years and years of practice.  I don't think it is accurate to say that we will ever become perfect, however, practice does make proficient!  
I think that the current view of intelligence will actually make it easier and much more fun to teach than before.  Now we are able to use so many different mediums to teach, visual, auditory, practical.  Before kids were expected to sit in the classroom and take notes about what the teacher said.  Now we can use games and power points and all kinds of other methods to get the point that we are trying to make across.  I think that we are actually so lucky to have this opportunity to make a difference in the way that we think is best.  I think this goes for learning as well.  Now teachers are able to get us involved in our learning process and our education than ever before.  Teachers ask us how we think the class would work the best for us and try to use those suggestions to benefit everyone.  I think that this is something that we can use while we are still in the process of learning and then later implement it into our teaching.
