Learning Journal

Takeaways

1. To be flexible in the classroom, especially when working with other colleagues and technology

2. Be aware of your misconceptions and be willing to change to mold to the new view

3. Working with technology is a great assessment tool and way of keeping track of student learning

4. Technology is a great way to engage students in learning (even when the content may not be very exciting)

Suggestions

1. Collaborate with teachers in classrooms before sending students into the field-make sure everyone is on the same page.

2. More structure to the class-more content being learned (Maybe some more group projects and presentations)

3. Suggestion for other teachers-always try out technology before trying it out on others

4. Keep track of our learning and progress more closely. I think the Thursday Roundups were a great idea but I think they would have been even greater if we were required to look at them, maybe post a comment or two.
