EDUC 518 Reflection

How does what you have learned support student learning?

I have learned to make sure my students are given many ways and examples to complete their assignments. Thanks for the examples; they really gave me insight as to how to complete each assignment.

How does what you have learned support your efforts academically?

I hate using Publisher. Being made to, helped me to see that is not such a bad program after all. I will now be adding this program for my students to learn too. I really liked the ideas that this class gave me. Now in my plans for next year, we will be ending the year with a salsa party.

How does what you have learned support your efforts professionally

Professionally I am a computer teacher. What I learned that I can do with all the programs to engage a student is going to be useful in my classroom. Teaching Excel has been hard, because it lacks a creativity level that other programs have. Thanks to this class I will now incorporate the boring programs with a fun project.

Other: In this area you can discuss anything that comes to mind. Please provide supporting data where appropriate.

This class was a rush. I did so much work. I am surprised I got it all in considering I had 2 other classes at the same time. This was my “fun” class. I like to have a fun class. Breaks up the monotony! I looked forward to doing the work in this class. Thanks for teaching this class!
