overall thiughts from our class

Overall I found this class to be very, very useful.  It was interesting that we were making assignments for a class that will be taking place in the fall.  In the process of teaching each other the material that needed to be covered like your digital footprint and other items related to teaching it was very interesting way of learning.  Also doing the weebly modules was a very interesting way of learning.  We were doing it as a “hands on” assignment.  We were learning to use weebly and making the modules for the class in the fall.  I felt like I got a lot of knowledge out of this class and really I enjoyed it.

Comments from Wednesdays class

Wednesday’s class was for some reason the easiest one we had so far.  I found the Ted talks to be very interesting.  It wasn’t the first time I have watched those talks before.  Other professors have shown them in their classes.

Thoughts on Learning Modules

I found the assignment of making the learning modules to be very helpful to me.  I had never heard about this unique online site which helps you make assignments until we were introduced to it in class.  I found creating this digital assignment fun.  The best thing with these modules is that you can tech technology in your lesson plan, which ultimately helps the students out beyond the classroom.  I feel that it is important to help these students in the “real world”.

Thoughts on learning modules

I thought it was good going through the learning modules of other classmates to see how they set up their learning modules.  There are a lot of great ideas that the students will be able choose from and it is good to have such a variety of activities to choose from.  I was able to see what types of ways they were going to incorporate technologies in their modules and even remember some of these ideas for later when I start teaching.

Thoughts on digital identity project

I am looking forward to working on my digital identity.  I am going to do the Education Mportfolio capstone activity.  I started my MPortfolio last fall in my introduction to education class.  I was in the first ever class with the teacher that developed the course.  I look forward to improving on what I already have because there is so much more to add from experiences and classes I took since then.  I feel this portfolio will help show a future employer who I am and why want to become a teacher.

I enjoyed learning about the online modules.  I feel like it is the most helpful tool that I have learned so far.  It is a lot easier than having to come up with an assignment that has to be passed out.  I would definitely use this website for making assignments in my class.  It is very helpful to students because you won't have to worry about students losing their assignment when it is on the web.  Also it saves on paper, which helps the enviroment.

Thoughts from our last class

With being one of the final to presentations to go I thought we did a good job on our presentation.  The one main issue we had was time.  We went way over our time by ten minutes.  I was surprised that it took us that long, I really thought we had everything together and pinpointed to directly what we were going to say so we would be done in the ten minutes.

As we were coming up with ideas for the three phases that would connect the two mock job interviews I found it to be very interesting to hear other ideas about what students could possibly do with the three phases of the class.  The ideas of the class helped me come up with new ones and these ideas I felt would be very beneficial to students taking this class in the fall.

I am interested to see what will happen for our next class because I feel we will be building on the foundation (ideas for the three phases) with some more brainstorming of how we will be bringing different ideas together for the different phases.
