tech pre-test assessment

I like the idea of creating a technology pre-test given to students before they start a class. It is important that the instructor know exactly where the student's capabilities are...so we do'nt have to spend a large amount of class time getting folks on board. I got this idea from Heidi Olson. One challenge that I see is that often times students register at the last minute.

helpful assessment tool

I have found the following assessment tools to be of help this week include: creating the essential and unit questions, the evidence along with their assessments. In developing the assessments, I have come to realize the different types of technology that I want to utilize within my classroom.

The information tech age

There are so many ways to retrieve information as I've learned this morning. With this in mind, how do I as an instructor appeal to all different types of student's tech capabilities. Many may be of an immigrant status and others will be not. Students who are not comfortable with this technology, the instructor will need to spend more time getting the non-traditional student up to speed. My thoughts also include the importance of understanding where students may be at in terms of understanding the tech that I may incorporate within the classroom setting.

An interesting thing I've learned.

I’ve learned that this company, Full Circle Farms out of Washington will deliver organic fruits and vegetables relatively cheaply to Bethel…of all places! I currently live in Bethel and find it difficult to get fresh and especially organic products this far west. I am also able to special order basil, and other types of herbs.

Information in a balanced diet

A balanced diet of information may contain facts, and concepts as well as informational guidelines that help to predict outcomes. Additional pieces of information may contain procedures or processes that help to denote the steps and or descriptions of how something may operate.

What is great about teaching?

Teaching others is one way to positively make a difference and have a significant impact in a student’s life. Through effective teaching, you are able to see other’s desire and confidence strengthen in the learning process. This is truly a unique gift.

Teaching can have an impact on a person’s decision on whether they want to pursue a specific program of study. It’s an empowering feeling when have a positive impact on someone’s career path as well as future choices.

Teaching also allows you to have autonomy in your classroom. Any new ideas that you present in your classroom is strictly up to you. This opportunity allows you to create a fun atmosphere where you can dream up new ways to present material to enhance student’s learning desires. Teaching also allows you the freedom to present ideas that are not run down by your employer.
