Positive Learning Environment

How many times have you had a class that you absolutely dreaded going to? The sad thing is this happens more often than finding a class that you truly get excited for. Now there are several factors that could play into a students feelings about a class, such as interest, relatability, and environment. Environments can have a huge affect on how students view a teacher, class, or even a subject. As teachers there are ceratin things we can do to help create a positive learning environment that students can feel comfortable and succeed in. The first step to a positive envirnonment is taking the time to build a relationnship with students.

With the panademic of COVID-19 our schools,work places, and country as a whole had to change the way we approached everyday. Anywhere you look you can see a change that was made that directly goes back to the effects of COVID-19. Perhaps no bigger shift than the one that came in education. Which leads me to ask the question, what is the future of education? As a student that was through my highschool education before covid hit much of my education never changed. There was a comfort in knowing the process and typical layout of the traditional classrooom. As far as tehnology goes the biggest change I can think of is when promethean boards got added into all the classrooms. Realistically this wasn't a dramatic change from the typical white board with a projector and was very beneficial with new opportunities for teachers. Post covid h
