Last Class Reflection

Hey, everyone! I can hardly believe this is our last class for 209. I'm pretty sad that it's ending because I've learned so much in the last 6 weeks.
 I was terrified to begin this tech course. I've never been tech savvy, nor have I really ever been interested in becoming tech savvy. I was under the impression that this was going to be one of those courses where I just had to grit my teeth and get the work done, and could forget everything once I walked out of the classroom for the last time. I WAS WRONG. Not only am I sad that it's ending, but I will take the ideas I was introduced to in this class with me for the rest of this program, and build on them in my future teaching career.
    At the beginning of this course, I wasn't even aware of Google Drive. How crazy is that? Over the last 6 weeks, I have been introduced to so many of the incredible things Google can do. For example, Google docs, sheets, putting things in my drive and organizing them, Google Classroom, and Google extensions. All those facets of Google that I never knew existed have become a pretty regular part of my every day!
    Furthermore, being introduced to interactive learning tools like Quizlet and Maps has given me a plethora of learning activity ideas that I can implement in my classroom that are actually FUN! This course was so incredibly helpful, and of course, Darche was excellent! Her patience, energy, eagerness and willingness to help all of us succeed in this course was truly incredible. She never made me feel like I was a like I was a burden, even if I had to ask how to do the same thing a few times. It is a pretty awesome feeling leaving this classroom and realizing that I have the ability to become fluent in technology, and now I have the proper tools to begin navigating towards that goal!

Blog 2: Friends & Classmates= Sanity

Hey, everybody! Today, I wanted to take a couple of minutes and talk about the importance of supportive and encouraging relationships in an adult learning environment. I'll be honest, sometimes I feel out of control, and like I'm being pulled in 100 separate directions. Every day I play the roles of mother, student, employee, significant other, daughter, friend, and sister. Many times I feel like my attention to one or more of those roles is slacking and needs some attention. That's a lot of hats to wear! Talking and commiserating  with my classmates who are in similar situations really eases my anxiety, and I think that the support and encouragement we bring to each other's lives is IMPERATIVE to our academic success, and emotional well being. That being said, if anyone ever needs a laugh, hug, shoulder, or an ear, I'm around! We're in this together, and I want us ALL to succeed!

Flipped Learning

Hey, everyone! So, we talked about Flipped Learning last Wednesday, and I WISH they would have adapted this concept when I was in middle and highs school! I've always been one that likes to teach myself the foundation of the material, and then ask questions if I have problems with the details. I HATED sitting in a class and having an instructor read slides off a Power Point, or read from a text. In grammar school and high school, I would tune out during lectures, and just read everything when I got home. That's just the way  I learned best. I think that Flipped Learning can be very beneficial because students can come to class with their questions at the ready. It can be very challenging for students who are given homework in a traditional model: they have questions, and there is no teacher there to answer them. Then they are forced to complete homework unsure if they are using the correct form or methods. They get confused, and just write whatever they can to complete the assi...

Technology: Positve and Negative Components

     There are several positive aspects to technology changing in society today. Students are able to access a plethora of information quickly and efficiently. Gone are the days where a student had to search books line by line to answer a single question. The lack of monotony keeps students engaged, and more willing to learn because the process is not so painstaking anymore. Also, students have more access to teachers: whether it be Twitter, YouTube, or other computer programs that offer tips or digital tutoring, students can receive the specific assistance they need. Changing technology also allows students access to their grades through student portals. In the past, grades were kept in written gradebooks and students did not always have access to them. Now, students can monitor grades on their own, and have a better understanding  of which area needs improvement.     Improvements in technology are beneficial to teachers as well. As global education is ev...
