Observations of My Classroom

2:00pm, May 3, 2007


2 students are on MySpace.

1 student is on a laptop, probably doing the above, but I can't see her screen.

1 student is looking on her screen, laughing.

2 girls are checking their cell phones.

1 guy is browsing an unknown web site (screen too far away).

1 girl has her hand on her head, completely ignoring her surroundings.

2 girls are actually taking notes.

1 girl is having a conversation with the teacher, who is in the middle of his lecture.

I am writing down these observations.


This is all occurring in an education class; specifically, where we are applying the principles of psychology to help us become effective teachers. Oh, the irony. It's amazing what you can learn by simply watching.


"By beholding, we become changed."

P.S. For those who read the last post, the brownie is sitting wrapped in a tissue on the desk in front of me; and the girl who gave it to me is the one conversing with the instructor.
