As you know I have also been TAKING a class this semester while I've been teaching. It's WHIPPING MY BUTT! I still have homework!!! If you still need a post :) or out of the goodness of your heart are willing to share...Here is ONE OF FOUR of my assignments for this week.
Ask your students (or colleague) to reflect on something that is very important in their own learning process. They might share a particular learning approach, or unit/project, or lesson, or particular time in their education, or something they continue to find very important for success in as they try to reach greater understanding of what they are learning.
You may answer it generally as it is stated above or...
more specifically...
What has been important in your learning process in SED260 that helped you be successful?
THANKS!!!!
I am an extremely organized person and something that is important to me in my learning is that I understand all the steps of what I have to do or learn and think about how I am going to do each one. For example, with out language projects, I had to read each step I would have to do and think about how I would accomplish each one before I began. This makes me feel like I have more control over the process and taking things step by step makes it easier for me to master the material.
ReplyDeleteSomething really important to be is visuals or hand on projects. In SED 260 you did both of those for me. You showed videos and also by doing the language project.
ReplyDeleteI often have a lot of questions about projects, tests, and homework. I think the blog has really helped me in my learning process in SED 260 because it is a way for me to ask questions and get feedback from you and my classmates. It has really helped me when I have gotten confused about something or needed someone elses opinion!
ReplyDeleteI think one thing that has always helped me in the learning process is exploratory learning. I do this as often as I can in my class work. I always seem to retain information better when I read and find it on my own. Aside from exploratory learning, I am a visual learner as well. If an instructor sits infront of me in class and just spits off facts and figures, I am off to never never land. If I can see it applied, then I almost always get it right away. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteAn important thing that helped me in this class was getting together and talking to Mrs. White. I've never done with that any teacher, and was a pretty worried about it but it was great! I wish all my teachers were this interested in fostering our learning and understanding.
ReplyDeleteKate, face it - it was that tomato mozzarello sandwich!! BTW - the salad minus so much dressing is the bomb, too - had that last night.
ReplyDeleteWhat helps me the most, is being organized and neat, when I my notes and papers are not organized neither is my head!!! LOL I also like hands on projects things will help both learn and enjoy! It always helps me to understand!!
