Is this really the final Blog? When I really sit back and reflect on how much I have learned and applied to my class from this program it's pretty amazing. It hasn't been just the things that have been explicitly taught throughout the classes but the way the program models what learning can be. I am having my students build Weebly pages. Add a page for each unit. This is where they will be posting their learning. Progress charts, summative and anything else we can think of. Oh yea and a blog page. Sound familiar.
I knew from the start that I wanted to focus on student clarity. That has just stuck with me as a foundational piece in anything we do, not just school and learning Science. My focused changed from concept maps and student clarity to using digital tools get assess and help them gain clarity. My audience and learning dictated were I ended up, but isn't that the learning that is organic and most powerful type of learning? Just going through the process and struggles of being a student has been invaluable. I am a better and more empathetic teacher for just that reason.

Well as we come to the end I am feeling pretty good about getting things done. I am almost done with my video. I still need to change out 2 shots, but way more close to done than last class. I do worry about the quality compared to others I have seen. The video has been a struggle for me. I had a really hared time getting going then when I did, things started to come together. I feel pretty good about my poster, just hope I have the right content. Can't wait to get some fresh eyes on it for some feedback. Still need to finish up the website and now a final presentation. Good thing we have some time off this week. My biggest struggle hasn’t really been with the content these last couple of weeks but with life getting in the way. I usually plan good chunks of time to work on my assignments. Outside circumstances have carved into this time so I have fallen a bit behind. Having said that, I have started my executive summary. I have pulled from my webpage and my research paper for the content. I My biggest issue with this is I haven’t conducted my 2nd round of research to add to the final product. I hope to have some more pre and post test data as well as conducting another survey. As far as the video goes. I just have to put the time in to clean it up. I thought I was going to get some clips this weekend but that didn’t happen. Should I change it up and keep it simple with just images? I still think I have a pretty good idea of where I want to go with it. I still need to look into cutting the time down a bit. I am right now at 90 seconds and I still haven’t done the transitions, intro, and credits. Hopefully I will have the final rough cut done by Tuesday nights class. |
