Response to Dave Hewitt’s film

I really enjoyed this film, and I wish we could watch the whole film if we have time because it is really good to see this new way of teaching. When we are new to something, we all learn by mimicking. Dave Hewitt has very unique teaching methods. He grabs everyone’s attention right away by using a sticker pointing around the wall. Every student is paying attention and really curious about what he is going to do. It’s amazing that he introduces the new concept unobtrusively. He starts from really simple things students know; he builds up from patterns of numbers, adding and subtracting, then he introduces the concept of unknown. Also, it is surprising that students do not need to take notes, and everyone is really engaging in the class. Usually, when I am busy copying down the notes from the lecture, I cannot think and cannot really focus on what the teacher is saying. His way of teaching is really relational and really helps the students develop the problem solving skills.
