Long Life Learning (3L)

Teaching means Learning. If you want to teach means you also have to learn. During Technology and Language Learning class, I got a new concept in becoming a teacher. My lecturer Sir Iwan Syahril made a song named "The Teacher". He composed this song when he was studying Teacher Education in Columbia University, United States. The lyric was so touchy that makes me feel lucky to become a teacher in the future.

The most powerful part of this song for me is "I'm under construction". Sounds like i'm a building which is being repaired and prepared by an architect.The architect represent knowledge and skill in teaching. Teacher doesn't has to be a person who stands in front of the class and give so many assignment to their student. A teacher can be someone who teach you how to behave, how to survive, and how to treat yourself. I hope I can be a good teacher. Be a clever teacher is nice, but be a good teacher is more awesome. Being good in this context means that you are not teaching your student but also listen and learn from your student.

  4. Agree with you. Teacher is also an educator. It means that teacher not only moves the materials from books into the whiteboard, but also educates the students how to be a better person. God bless you :)
