The last Skype conference of
this course was presented by Dean Shareski, who believe stimulate curiosity in
the teachers will improve teaching and learning. He said, “If you are not
curious you might have a difficult time teaching”. I agree with this concept
because being curious wakes up our thoughts to feel and live the teaching and
learning experience. I am a curious person and during the conference, I
observed the T-shirt that Dean wore advertising Discovery Education Canada, so
after, I went online to investigate it. I discovered a website, useful for
teachers and students, where digital resources and activities can be found.
As teachers, we have to learn how to be curious. I think curious
teachers can make curious students and curiosity is a natural ability and
characteristic of humans that we forgot while we grow, but we can re-learn it.
To start, we can try new food, speak with an stranger, ask ourselves questions
about what is around us using the 6 Ws (What, Why, When, Where, Who and How), seek
and read a book about something that you found interesting, look at the small
things of every day and discover something beautiful on them, learn things
(when you have knowledge, you can have new ideas), take risks and do not fear
failure, because as Dean said, curiosity makes learning very joyful.
