CI 201 Reflection Essay

Improved Essays
Overall, CI 201 was a very beneficial class for me to take in my journey towards becoming a teacher. One big takeaway I have from this class is to be innovative with technology and to use it to do things that would be difficult to do without using technology, rather than using it just to use it. I think this will be very important for me to keep in mind as I start my teaching career because as the amount of technology available to students increases, I will have to think of ways to use it in my classroom that will make learning the different content both engaging and effective for my future students. I learned many different technological tools that I have learned will be beneficial to use in my future classroom. One project that I really enjoyed …show more content…
In this standard, teachers should be able to demonstrate their abilities using each of the different technology tools that they expect their students to use and to learn how to use different technological tools to communicate information. One of the assignments I completed this semester to work towards mastering this standard is the Google assignment. I used Google Forms to create a sample form that parents could fill out to give more information about their child. I think this would be a very effective way to communicate with parents as well as use technology to gather information. I think without using this technology, it would be difficult to collect this information, as a paper copy could easily be lost or forgotten. Since Google Drive tools are free, I know a lot of schools will want to use them, so being introduced to them in this class and learning to use them efficiently will be very helpful in my future as a teacher. Also, students will most likely have to use tools like Google Slides or Google Docs to collaborate on projects, so learning how to use them in this class is a good way to learn how to be efficient in this tool. I would like to continue to use other tools that I learned about in this class to better prepare myself for my future

When I first started this course, I was scared and didn’t really know what to expect. I branched out to different styles and types of essays as well as incorporating outside sources into my work. When I received my first essay back with the feedback and the grade, I realized that I was not a really good writer.…

    Based on my prior experience in honors english for two years, AP English Language and Composition, and AP Literature, English 101 honors is the best fit for my experience and my level of meticulous and strategic writing at this point. Writing and reading have always come easy to me in school; whether reading to write a book review for the class or reading for the AP exam, I have excelled with high honors and the highest remarks from the faculty on my writing and style. English has always been one of my best subjects. Most of my english teachers were pretty impressed with my writing skills and with my advanced vocabulary for my age. My 9th grade english teacher even thought that I should get into writing, whether as a blogger or as an journalist.…

    Throughout high school, I have been involved in many activities. I started off with the STEM academy in my high school. In the STEM academy, we held special events that teach people, especially kids, about new experiments and science-related careers.

    It represents how many people will need to come to break even. When 241 people show up, the budget will break even. Gradually, as 241 breaks even, $2410 will be our current revenue. The reason that it is 241 people and not 240 is because if you had 240 people show up, the revenue would be 2400, the cost is $2007.19 and you can’t go below budget. As time progresses, our current flow of revenue will make a significant increase.…

    Everyone hates English class is what I thought before taking English 102. However, that may have been the case before I entered Dr. Byrd’s domain, but after finishing the class I have come to the realization that English class can be greatly resourceful. English 102 this year has had its ups and downs, and I must admit the ups outweigh the downs. Meaning, this year, I have learned that I am not a student who wants to read or write, but through reading and writing my mind and skill sets concerning English have grown. During English 102 this year, reading and writing in class helped me expand my writing skills, improved my will to comprehend, and most importantly helped expand my knowledge.…

    In recent discussions of Google, a controversial issue has been whether Google is more beneficial or harmful to education. On one hand, some argue that Google is more harmful to education. From this perspective, there is a viewpoint that Google is a tool that can give the answers to all of the student’s questions without them needing to know it. On the other hand, however, others argue that Google is more beneficial to education. In the words of Roger Nevin, one of this view’s main proponents, “Google Apps has significantly improved the way students and teachers work” (Nevin 46).…
