  • Teaching - The Words we use




    Walter & Group...


    [GH] Gary Carlson gets us thinking about the words we use as we teach :

    Gordy,
    This is a very interesting video on how we use words and how they have an impact or not. It certainly applies to how we speak with our students.

    I hope you enjoy it.

    [GH]  Gary,

    A worthy diversion.  The words we choose are so important !  Mel Krieger taught us that.

    As I have taught over many years, I've also learned that it doesn't stop with the words we use, it's also HOW WE USE THEM.

    Emphasis, tone, timing, inflection, eye contact and even associated facial expressions along with "body language" can make a big difference as we communicate and/or teach.
