Classroom Creepers

I am so stoked to actually be starting a project in class. I keep saying I feel like our Paul class has unfinished business and I LOVE that we are getting the ball rolling on this idea for Jesus and the Gospels! I want to change the world, but I know I cannot do it alone and it will take a long time for it to really happen....but one thing that we learned in Paul was that sometimes it helps to think globally and act locally. Whether locally is with ourselves or our school, I think we're doing an awesome thing to attempt to impact change where we see it needs to happen.


Luke talks a lot about outcasts of society. There are also outcasts of the classroom; people who have learning disabilities, people who learn in different ways, people who never do the assignments :) As Christians, we are called to step out of our comfort zones to reach out to the outcasts, even to become one of them. For this project we are ultimately doing the same thing; we are reaching out to the broken, the poor and the people who don't always get things the first time you tell them.


I'm a part of the group in our class who will be taking pictures of real situations in class rooms when we see learning happening...or not happening. We are the classroom creepers. I am excited to be a part of this group and to get things started on this project. I really believe that we can do good things with this. I cant wait to see the final result!

  1. People do learn differently, which is one reason it's so difficult for a teacher to teach in a way where even the majority of the class learns. It helps when a teacher is excited about the class and engages them. This is done easiest in small classes, at least I find that to be true. I am much more likely to interact with my teacher, classmates, and the material if I'm sitting in the front and surrounded by only a small group of people.
