Today was very interesting. I saw constructivism at work...and working. Everytime Dr. Matthews would say observers are not to say anything, I thought, "What is the big deal? Why would the observer want to say anything?"
Well I was the observer today and it was really hard not to say anything. I wanted to say something to the students when I saw they were on the right track but needed a hint. I wanted to say something to the teacher that might coax the students along. I just wanted to SAY!!!!!
Arrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!
But I didn't. (smile)

I felt the same way. I knew I could sit through a lesson and observe without talking. Then in the middle of the lesson, I just wanted to say one thing, but I knew I couldn't. That would not really be helpful to the students in constructing their own knowledge.
