Week 11
Throughout this year I have leaned away from wanting to become a teacher. I never really knew if it was what I wanted to do but I needed a minor for my major and I thought it would be interesting and helpful. But if I had to choose a subject and grade level to teach I think I would pick senior year government. (I am a political science major). I think surveys would be a great tool to use in this setting to get anonymous opinions from my students to discuss! Also to get some demographics from my class in the beginning!
In the flipped classroom the homework becomes the classwork. Instruction is given during home time. So then the skills can be applied in person instead of at home. I think this form of teaching sounds very interesting. It would allow students to learn at their own pace but I also think it might be difficult to make sure students are doing the at home instruction.
I think I would like to keep learning more about excel next. Excel is very complex and confusing and I think there are entire classes about it for a reason. I also think it is very useful in all jobs and just in life in general. I could learn a lot more about excel on my own through youtube videos I'm sure.
I found many things interesting when reading the instructors blog post. I have found many of the Covid-19 education related posts all very interesting. I liked looking at all of the teachers pages my classmates chose to look at! I also thought some of the tools we mentioned would be very beneficial in the classroom for professional development. I also enjoyed seeing what adaptive technologies my class mates would use!
My comments will be posted on the canvas discussions :)
