Blended learning

the school meetings as well as connecting with the teachers to create a better learning environment. I would say it’s safe to assume that a combination of the…

Throughout a person life they will meet and work with countless of people. Working with others is almost like a trail and error process; sometimes that partnership works great, while other times the partnership stalls. The same can be said for a manager and their philosophy on how to run a business. I have been fortunate enough to work at multiple internships and jobs throughout my life and I give all of those experiences a lot of credit into molding me into the man I am today. However at each…

The two subject areas that I chose to complete my back to back lessons on were reading and writing. There were two major factors that went into my selection. The first was that there are only two times during the day when two lessons are taught back to back. The first is reading and writing in the morning and the other is social studies and science in the afternoon. Because I had already taught lessons in the science and social studies areas, I decided that it would benefit me more if I chose…

A Non-Traditional Form of Learning How are students affected by cultural experiences offered through Anderson University? One major thing that students gain from immersing themselves in another culture is the ability to apply practical life applications. Perhaps a student has been studying a foreign language and through a Tri-S trip he can practice speaking with other people. For that student, his world opens in a completely new and exciting way. Or another student has a heart for trafficked…

To get information across effectively there should be good listening skills and in order to prevent the wrong information to send one should listen and must be able to interpret the same message said through any form of communication.

experience in the sense it allowed for the creation of such a variety of ideas and thoughts to create a sequence of investigative science lessons. The initial group discussion about the direction of our lessons began as sharing and jotting down main learning intentions, approaches, teaching methods, learners needs and resources. Collaborative curriculum planning was effective once we figured out the best possible way to contribute our ideas and works without the troubles of constant emails and…

just read their book and then do a worksheet or reread the book again if they finish. Mrs. Werne usually just monitors and sits with a group. I was glad that I actually was able to conduct my own small group because I felt like they were actually learning something during this literacy group, rather than just reading the book and that was it. How did you prepare to work with the group? I decided to look at the book before we read it. I looked…

believe that the field of Student Affairs provides a unique and even essential opportunity to help shape the experience that student’s receive within the university setting. I strongly believe that students gain more from their college experience learning and growing outside of the classroom rather than inside. Self-discovery and personal exploration through extra-curricular activities and interpersonal interactions guide students through their academic careers and develop who they wish to…

Everything in life is included by acquisition and learning. In other words, whenever people playing instruments, working in a company, or practicing a second language, they need to combine of acquisition and learning. Gee points the understanding of literacy by taking the notion of a reading class where he learns grammar and read. He argues that reading class has a stressful learning and not an acquisition. Gee also summarizes the regular definition of literacy as…

For my first field experience I observed a kindergarten class. The class included 24 students, the teacher, and the student teacher. When I entered the classroom, I was very impressed on how clean it was. The students were able to move around the very well, but it was a little tough for the adults. The students were located in the middle of the room at 4 tables, each seating 6 students. The teacher was located in the back corner by the window. This gave her an excellent panoramic view of all…
