Ci 201 Reflection

Improved Essays
In CI 201, I learned so many new things. I am aware that CI 201 is a technology class, but was not aware of the amount of technology that has been incorporated into the education system. Even though this class has caused me a lot of stress, it has been very beneficial. Everything I have learned in this class will highly be useful in my major. An important topic that we learned about was informational literacy. This is something that I am thankful I learned about; learning how to safely and effectively use the internet is something vital and important to be able to use it as a reliable resource. This is something that students will need to learn how to use to be successful on the internet, since everyday new information is upload on the web. …show more content…
A perfect example of this standard is when we worked on a project using explain everything. Explain everything is a great resource for teachers; it allows us to create videos in a whole different way. This tool lets teachers teach, even if they were to be absent, or they could also just use it for a review session. Explain everything is a way for teachers to design learning experiences that incorporate digital tools to promote students learning; not only that, but it’s a cool way to customize and personalize your learning activities. Also if student were to have trouble understanding the new concept, they could just watch the video again until they felt they understood the whole idea of the concept. This allows students to work at their own pace. Although I do understand this standard, I still need to learn better effective ways to intergrade technology in my future classroom. An additional cool resource is Kid Pix. The assignment we did with Kid Pix, allowed use to get a deeper meaning on why we want to teach and what we want our students to get out of our classrooms. This is another tool where it promotes student’s creativity into their student learning. I still need to learn more on how to provide students with multiple summative assessments and also diverse learning styles if I plan to teach in an urban area. It is important that teachers have options, instead of just one set way; this way you have more students able to

    For students, the technology content offers audio summaries, links to videos, animation and graphic organizers. On-line students have access to a media toolkit and a student presentation builder. This allows students to create responses to the text, once again allowing students to make a connection to what they learned. Gormley and McDermott (2015) found that students expend a great deal of thought on their choices of visual, video, and audio displays providing evidence of what they learned from their reading.…

    The Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium or InTASC are a set of ten standards designed by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to help public school teachers effectively teach each student while maintaining a level of professionalism amongst colleagues (Council, 2011).

    Due to the latest technologies, teachers need to change the way they assess students in order to uphold academic integrity. I want to introduce teachers to using technology for practical purposes while helping students capitalize on their creativity and individual uniqueness. Using technology for some practical purpose, and not for the sake of using technology, must be the clear objective. New technology learners are exposed at an early age. It’s important for teachers not to focus on integrating technology too much instead of focusing on learning in the classroom environment.…

    Before taking SGST 200 class, I had a very narrow view of sexualities and gender’s problems, but I was fine with that for such a long time. Even when I decide to take this class, I wasn’t expecting to change or have a whole new view of problems like racism, sexism, and homophobia. In SGST200, I learned that there is nothing wrong with being different from others, we should be proud of ourselves and be respectful to others. We can’t change the biological diversity; everyone is different since they are born and they have rights to choose what they want to be.…

    Section I: Reflecting on Assessing Prior Knowledge and Planning Instruction In order for students to be successful in this lesson, students must have had previous practice with basic addition and subtraction.

    When I considered taking WRTG 101 this semester I was unsure how much it would affect my writing style. I have always had issues with the strength of my writing and my overall writing style. Whether it was run on sentences, proper citations, an overall passive writing style, or proper use of pronouns my writing style needed a tune up. After taking this class I have an improved overall understanding of the writing process and how to apply it in different writing situations. Run on Sentences were a concern before I took the class, however now I have a much better understanding of proper sentence structures.…

    Upon reflection of the EDF5141 Health unit. I believe it has assisted me in gaining some skills which will result in helping me reach my goals as a teacher. These goals I have for myself align with two Australian Professional Teaching Standards (APST) by the AITSL. These include ‘knowing the content and how to teach it’ and ‘plan for and implement effective teaching and learning’. ‘Knowing the content and how to teach it’ is a standard from the Professional Knowledge section and talks about the knowledge you have for the subject and understanding how it should be taught which suits the learning style of the students whilst aligning with the Australian government's requirements.…

    Reflection When signing up to take the Final Project Course this fall I was extremely nervous and not excited to start. Walking into the first day of class and learning more about what the final project would entail, I did feel slightly better but still scared that it was going to be too overwhelming and hard to complete by myself. Luckily, the individual meetings and emails with my professor made everything much more clear and inviting. These final project meetings were very helpful in terms of receiving constructive criticism and then going back home to make changes to the paper.…
