As a supervisor, I learned a teacher can enhance a class’s learning experience simply by movement which stimulates student attentiveness. Although, the teachers I have observed are instructing via a cyber platform (Blackboard Collaborate), many parallels can be drawn between the cyber and brick and mortar settings. The observations of Teacher A (English 10: Chapter 12 To Kill a Mocking Bird Review) and Teacher B (English 10: Historical/Cultural Significance of To Kill a Mocking Bird) focused on what I call digital behavior. Both Teacher A and Teacher B make use of polling options (green check: yes/red x: no) in an effort to gage simple responses from students. Thus functioning similarly to a show of hands in the brick and mortar setting.
