8. The Padagogy Wheel

The padagogy wheel is a very useful tool used to help speed your work processes as well as your work in the classroom. A cool way I thought of how the padagogy wheel could help me was with the process of teaching the first step to creating an essay to students. With this said I began in the center reading the passages then worked my way outward. I began by choosing the “Remembering and Understand” category. My thought process I kept in mind, was how could I make this lecture memorable to my students. Then the wheel guided me fast from there where it then led me to choosing the action verbs: “identify, retrieve, and explain”. These words all are interacting with creating a thinking web for designing essay thoughts. Then I moved to the activities where mine obviously stood out “MIndmappimg”. Then the wheel gave examples of apps that could be useful in the classroom, and I chose “iThoughts”. This was a ver effective and fast way to create a lesson plan activity.
