CHAT GROUP: first meeting

  • We met in class on Friday at 3:30
  • All members were present: Karen, Zach, Kathryn
  • Topic Proposal: Problems with Chatrooms

    One problem with chatrooms is that it can prevent children from growing in certain social areas because they spend so much time on the computer instead of talking to people face to face.  It also keeps children from wanting to go play outside and be active.  Then, they do not learn to enjoy being active in order to stay healthy.

    Most Relevant Job

    My most relevant job, experience-wise, to being a teacher was being a tennis instructor.  I was responsible for deciding what we were going to do everyday in class.  I also had to make things fun to keep the kids motivated.  I also was responsible for handling problems with parents and doing required paperwork for the kids and parents.
