Exit Slip - Thoughts on Praise and multidimensional classrooms

Watching how multidimensional classrooms work was really interesting, to actually see that every student was given the chance to participate and also make mistakes. This environment provides an atmosphere of acceptance, recognition and equality. The video was focusing on math, but I consider that it can be applied to any subject, we need to stop learning as computers, memorizing concepts and equations, and start performing the applicability of the knowledge provided. 

The idea of praising was also approached in the classroom, and it made me realize the importance of being careful with praising. We need to evaluate the positive and negative consequences of it. I believe that instead of praising the students, we should acknowledge them for their work and merits, not for their results. Finding alternatives for recognizing a student's accomplishment is something that I will really consider as a future educator in order to find the most appealing and comfortable environment for everyone.
