Hi everyone,
The class itself was very valuable to me. Everything that I learn I believe had a purpose for me to learn about it. Though I had a very difficult time getting my work together I felt that I got a lot out of this class. There were so many things we went over and which I will find useful in the future. Some of the assignments that really stuck out at me were the spread sheet, filamentality and the I-movie. I have a feeling I will be using technology far more that I had ever imagined when I began to teach.
What I liked about the spreadsheet was that I learned how to keep all of my information organized. I think that as a teacher it is crucial to have all of your numbers well documented when referring to a child’s grade. Not only is it important to see how the students are doing in class but its also a reflection on how I am doing as a teacher.
The filamentality was a very fun activity. I can see myself using this as part of my class. Even in a form of presentation to lecture to the students. By using filamentality students get a chance to hear what I am talking about as well as see. In a way I think this relates to the power-point presentations because by using either of the two you are able to touch on more than one learning style.
The I-movie I really liked. I think that thought a year students get to experience so many adventure in school and a movie where pictures are put together in form of a video or a video is made to keep all their memories about that year.
