Final Reflection “What did this learning experience mean to you?“ Mike Bottai

What have I Learned? Some say we learned none Some say we learned some I say we learned a lot: Classroom Management MEL Learning styles Technology Integration SAMR This all will helped me become the educator I want to be I want to engage all my students That is my number one goal

Blogs and Wikis Learning about the different versatilities of both of these are very valuable You can reflect on your learning Have a class website In Math they could blog about real world examples that connect to the content we are covering in class I can have a Wiki where I post all the important information for the students Technology is a tool that is very helpful

WebQuest This was very fun It’s good to learn how to make a website I can use one or two in my own classroom so the students can explore and assume different roles and projects Allows students to be creative which is vital for engagement My WebQuest I created

Classroom Management Chapter Reading most of my classmates chapters, I took away very valuable information on: Establishing Respect Working with Parents Family Involvement Professionalism Effective Learning All of this will help us become great educators We can bring our knowledge with us as we transform from college students into teachers

Classroom Management Presentation Working together is important Working on this project and every other project with a partner opens up your mind You think about things differently Working with a partner you can throw ideas out and get instant feedback This helped me get through this course Brainstorming with friends and our professors definitely helped with creating a solid learning environment

Bug Proof Lesson Plan Looking at issues that could arise is very helpful You don’t always know what could happen It’s a mystery One word that will help is: Preparing Be prepared for anything Back everything up If anything goes wrong always have a back up

Twitter Chat I interacted with 2 teachers from this chat They want me to come visit their classroom which is an amazing opportunity Shows that teachers want to help pre-service teachers succeed This personally shows me support for student teaching and when I’m a teacher, teachers want to help My twitter account

Classroom Management Kit Helped me understand both proactive and reactive solutions I now know: What FERPA is How to handle emergencies Humor First day of School must do’s Cyber Bullying
