Comments about observations

I feel really confident about observations, but anyway I prefer to be the one who is observing and not the one that is being observed. My ideas about observing have changed considerably because at the beginning I did not see it as a learning tool. It was just a matter of finding out what you do not want to do in your lessons. I was really wrong, and I think that I will make more profit of it now. This is why I feel more confident about making observations and from now on I will try to learn from them. I believe that I will be able to learn about classroom management, how to deal with certain matters (like mistakes) and I also think that observations will be useful to find out which things I would like to do in my lessons. To sum up, I believe that observations are necessary for our learning process.

Cynthi I absolutely agree with you!!I like what you said 'I prefer to be the one who is observing and not the one that is being observed' eventhough I have the same feeling, I believe that there comes a time when somebody will come to our class to check our work, I mean that is unavoidable! However, it will important to have in mind that those who daily observe us, control what we do and may be critical or not towards our work are our students!
It's nice reading about your thoughts!
