Throughout my life, I have always had an interest in technology. This year I have decided to take a class that I will definitely enjoy. This class is intriguing and enjoyable. Tech Squad has taught me many things and is still teaching me. It is especially fun when it comes to coding and helping others with problems that involve technology. Firstly, I have a great teacher that keeps me engaged. My teacher, Mrs. Hockenberry, does many hands on activities with us including walking us through…

Daniel was observed during the afternoon in his second grade class. At the start of the observation, the class was engaged in a reading activity on the carpet. Daniel’s teacher, Mrs. Parker, gave him permission to step away from the activity. Daniel appeared confused as he headed in the direction of the observer. Mrs. Parker then verbally redirected Daniel to the bathroom. After using the bathroom, Daniel headed to his “cubby” and pulled out materials as directed by his teacher. The class,…

student’s names. Seeing the pennants immediately made me think of what Payne (2013) wrote, “spiritual resources provide a person with a ‘future story,’ which gives him/her hope for the future” (p. 9). Teacher’s had bulletin boards outside their classroom. They were decorated with items from the college they attended which I believe reaffirm their “future story”. The Kansas Report Card website (http://ksreportcard.ksde.org) provided useful information about the school district. The Wichita…

My experience at the school I attended for the school board meeting was very fascinating and exciting to learn about. I had a great time meeting the school board staff and learning about many different activites and important discussions about the school and how it is run.

Why Longhand is Better There has been a long, heated debate in this new era of technology about whether or not a laptop is a better alternative for taking notes than the old fashioned pencil and paper. However, time after time again research continues to favor the side of longhand note taking. Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) have suggested that laptops might even decrease the effectiveness in which we learn and can have negative consequences on our overall learning experience. The two conducted…

does not suit every student. Some students enjoy a flipped classroom, are visual learners, or are kinesthetic learners. Flipped classrooms are the most efficient and convenient way to learn. Flipped classrooms tend to match almost every student’s learning style. With a flipped classroom, students have the ability to work at their own pace, go over a concept as many times as necessary, and ask peers for help. Accordingly, a flipped classroom allows students to work on assignments when it is…

co-worker had a takeover/take control personality and ran the department most of the time. The department had a policy to check each other’s paperwork before and after IEP meeting to reduce errors. One day in the second semester the co-work comes in my classroom and requests to see me in the hall. In the hall she proceeds to yell at me about my IEPs. Other teachers were looking out their doors to see what was going on. I listened for a few minutes, then told her I’d meet with her after school…

As always, my observation of Ms. de la Fuente’s 5th grade class this week began during their math time. After having returned from lunch, students reviewed TEKS concepts they need to know to pass the STAAR test and some had tutoring. After that, they began to learn that day’s lesson which dealt with area and perimeter. On Wednesday, after their usual lesson they went to the computer lab to take an iStation test. In addition to the normal observation of the class, this week I also learned about…
