Default Re: Mistakes that new teachers make

In addition to the good mistakes mentioned above, I was also far too slow to recognize the power of electronic dictionaries, YouTube, and videotaping student presentations. Many students have grown up digital, and pandering to their obsession with electronic consumer goods makes class feel more modern and relevant. Likewise, emailing each student feedback on both papers and oral presentations seems more effective than just passing back evaluations in class.
