Introductory Post

Introduction. Sounds easy enough. Short and to the point.
My name is Ethan Haugh and I am from Mannington, WV.
I would like to teach high school 9-12 grade History/Social Studies.
Few sentences on how children learn.
I believe that keeping children engaged is very important and pivotal in how they learn the material that is being presented to them.  That being said, it is quite obvious that all children learn and progress at different rates. Aptitude and intelligence play a large role in how students should be taught because that ties directly into how they learn as well.  One must understand that there are many ways people, not just children, learn, absorb, and apply information that is set before them.  So, there is no one correct way to teach children and all of them do not learn the same way.  Therefore, integrating as many of those ways as possible seems to be the appropriate approach to tackling this issue.  Powerpoint presentations, hands on activities, and visual representations are all needed to fully immerse students and make sure that everyone is learning in a way they feel most comfortable with.
