Comments on: How Is A Good Teacher NOT Like Indiana Jones? http://inpractice.edublogs.org/2008/05/26/how-is-a-good-teacher-not-like-indiana-jones/ Theory is nice, but we are working in practice... Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:13:18 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Bill Ferriter http://inpractice.edublogs.org/2008/05/26/how-is-a-good-teacher-not-like-indiana-jones/comment-page-1/#comment-421 Bill Ferriter Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:47:44 +0000 http://inpractice.edublogs.org/?p=82#comment-421 Good fun, Larry. Here's a couple of additions: A good teacher is completely unfazed when the absolutely unbelieveable breaks out in the middle of their instruction. A good teacher recognizes when a lesson is two meters shy of the edge of the waterfall and changes course ahead of time. A good teacher knows WHO to send for help! A good teacher understands that book knowledge is not knowing---and is therefore willing to ride their son's motorcycle through the library at will. A good teacher sees the cafeteria brawl as an opportunity to be embraced rather than an obstacle to avoid. I gotta say that I enjoyed this far more than I enjoyed the actual movie! Rock on, Bill Good fun, Larry.

Especially with lots of real world experience and knowledge about secret things. He does really get into his research. Takes his learners on adventure. dresses well. um, rugged good looks, I haven't seen the latest one yet though... At least he isn't freaking out about someone commenting on his wig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXGZPQtaDdw I thought Indy would be a good teacher.

Alice,

“Hawthorn-esque” is far too deep for me. I went to the movie for the chase scenes and fights….

Now you are ruining my whole perception of my classroom. And, if not from another planet, who are these strangers coming into my classroom all day? Maybe it is the KIDS who are from another planet. It is all starting to make sense now. :) Kevin No help from aliens from another dimension?
