1绘色瓷砖添学习动力Ryan Martinez knows how to encourage his students. If theres silence, there is an opportunity for music. If theres a white surface, there is an opportunity for color. Martinez teaches French at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington. His classroom is decorated with colorful ceiling tiles. As a teacher, you want to make your classroom space one that reflects your own approach to teaching. And when you make that an inviting, stimulating type of atmosphere, it makes it a more pleasurable learning experience. It started with one tile a year ago. I brought it home and I just had some blue paint and sort of just covered it and then I installed it. The students noticed that. I mean, immediately, it jumped out because, in an otherwise white ceiling, all of a sudden when you have some colored. Martinez paints at home for ten hours each weekend and brings the tiles back to school. He has expanded the project to other classrooms. Maggie Mesorly teaches math. Students often think that math is boring, but they come and they see this art and they think, Ah, maybe math isnt gonna be so boring. It can inspire creativity in their problem solving. 瑞安?马丁内斯知道如何激励学生们。 “若有沉默，那么将是播放音乐的时机。若有一块白色表面，那么色彩将派上用场。” 马丁内斯在位于华盛顿外的马里兰州贝塞斯达市的华特?强森高中教法语。他的教室装饰着色彩斑斓的天花板。 “作为一名教师，你希望你的教室空间是能够反应自己的教学方法的地方。当你将它赋予一种引人注目且令人兴奋的气氛时，它也使得学习经历变得更加愉悦美好。” 这都因一年前的一块瓷砖而起。 “我将它带回家。当时我只有一些蓝色油漆。我涂了一些在瓷砖上，随后将它安装。学生们注意到了这件事。我觉得，它之所以立即就显得突出，是因为在其他白色天花板的映衬下，大家出乎意料地拥有了一些其他色彩。” 马丁内斯每周末要花费10小时在家喷涂瓷砖并将它们带回学校。他还将这项工程扩展到了其他教室。 玛吉?麦索丽教数学。 “学生们经常认为数学枯燥，但是他们过来看到这项艺术行为后会想：‘啊，也许数学并不会如此无聊。’它能够激发他们在解决问题中的创造性。” 2电玩或成美外交新手段Trace Effects is an online game geared toward children and young teens far from U.S. shores.
