Caitlin Craig ER Chapter 8 Summary

Chapter Summary: Wordy jargon can often complicate understanding.  When teaching and learning sometimes it is better to watch, or feel the sensations in your body.  These sensations will not lead you astray, like sound often does.  Removing holy jargon from our teaching often solidifies and clarifies ideas that once seemed mountaneous.
Key Terms: Holy Jargon
Key Concepts: find connections and understanding in a wordless means.
Making Connections: I think as a teacher it might be hard to listen at first.  I think it would be an easy task to put words into your students' mouths, just because you are trying to understand them.  But perhaps it would be a better exercise to show and then have them listen, and explain to you what they perceive.  This could also aid in deciphering where there current ability or understanding lies.
