Introduction Post


About Me

My name is Nolan Duffey.  I grew up in Zionsville, Indiana, which is about 15 minutes northwest of Indianapolis.  Some of my favorite things to do are camping/hiking/anything outdoors, playing sports, reading, going to amusement parks, and playing guitar.  I also love my summer job of being a camp counselor.  The past two summers I have been a counselor at a camp in northern Wisconsin called Fort Wilderness.  It has been such a great experience and has taught me so many things about working with kids.  It was working at camp that caused me to change my major from Business to Teaching all Learners.  So far, I have really loved my classes and being able to learn new and exciting things.  I am also really looking forward to field experience this semester.  It will be such a great time for learning.  That is a little about me and what I like to do.

REFLECTION
Big Idea:  People are eager to learn and expand their knowledge.


As teachers we should be excited about teaching and present the topics in a way that is relevant to the students so they will be excited as well.

  1. I agree that teachers should be a good model for students. If one isn't enthusiastic, it can be hard to inspire your students! We will actually learn more about the theory behind this form of learning so it's great that you've mentioned it in your first model.
