Yesterday, my group and I worked on our PowerPoint for Topic 2. We had to research and discuss the Social Constructivism theory and the role Emotional Intelligence plays in the classroom. We talked a lot about how Social Constructivism involves getting the students to interact with one another and really getting the student to take an active role in his or her learning. It is something that I would like to incorporate more of into my classroom because at the middle school level, the students are all about being with their friends! This goes along with emotional intelligence since as teachers, we need to create a positive atmosphere in the classroom so that the students can have these peer interactions and be learning at the same time.
