This course has really got me focused in on, and better understanding my students needs as learners. Looking at them through the lense of an “End User” we can identify what tools and skills they need to be successful in middle school.
I always knew it was important to get to know the kids and have a good relationship but did not realize the impact students emotions and feelings play into their learning.it had on their ability to learn and the learning process. Whether it was Baggio talking about the Trilogy of the mind, SITE design model, Dervin talking about getting to know the user profile and closing the communication gap, or the design models we looked at the all started in some way with getting to know your audience on a personal level. Another big takeaway was Baggio’s Book “The Visual Learner” has really helped me look at how I present information to the kids. Now I can’t sit through a presentation without critiquing if it. I have been having my kids really look at their presentations and now our motto is “If your going to say it, Don’t type it, just show it” They are currently working on a digital presentation on the States of Matter and it is forcing them not to just read from the slides but speak to what they have learned. The Design models and Prototypes helped me outline and wrap my head around the next steps for the capstone. I also feel like this course has narrowed and simplified my driving question. I wish we had it before the paper, but then again it was nice to get the paper over with!

Poignant. Your entry is obviously a metaphor for the sadness you are experiencing as this class comes to a close. JK. I know you are working on it, but I thought it would be good to comment on a title

Don't know why it wasn't showing up, I read your comment on the email and had no clue what you were talking about. Now I get it

Throughout this course, I felt the connection you had with your students from the earthquake mapping and the google form bathroom sign outs. I too feel a connection with these tech-savvy students when I present tech tools in P.E.
