Homeschoolers who sign up for American History, Algebra I, Civics, Geometry, and Biology should schedule for the the EOC (End of Course) test at your "assigned public school”. These tests are now a requirement for graduation in the public schools in Florida. This only applies if the child goes back to the public school system. The End of Course Test is an academic assessment overseen by the School Board and it is mandatory. Students are required to score a 3 to pass, but note that a few…

I am applying for the course because I am hoping it will lead me onto work in the gaming industry. As the gaming industry is quite big and has multiple sub-aspects, studying them at your university will allow me to choose which aspect I would like to go into. The subject interests me because I have been a gamer most of my life, from the PS1 to the Xbox 360. I enjoy a wide variety of games which I play depending on the mood I am in. The sort of games I play are psychological games such as Alice:…

The enduring questions that were presented to us at the beginning of the year in the course syllabus served as the “framework” for the course. We can gain knowledge to understand systems by studying the ways that bonds are formed and the different parts of the atom. This can be understood by using the models in lab #2 to connect how the system works together to form one functional bond, cell, tissue, organ, or organism. Using the knowledge that we have gained, we can predict what will happen in…

Over the course of this semester, I took a lot away from this Introduction to Technology for Educators course that I believe really helped me grow as a future educator. I was introduced to many different types of software and apps and taught how I could introduce technology in the classroom and make it effective. Even through how we created our assignments were different applications that I believe I will use in my classroom. This course has really opened my eyes to how teachings can stray away…

Course Reflection and Professional Application While conducting research in this course, I came across a quote from Cesar Chavez, “We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens the community – and this nation”. Prior to this course, I was knowledgeable about the cultural, linguistic, and learning needs in my classroom. What I have learned is the importance of not only knowing about the diversity but being able to…

I was really hesitant when I signed up for this course because I did not know much about any religions outside of Christianity and Catholicism other than reading or hearing a few tidbits here and there. I felt that my lack of knowledge would hinder my ability to comprehend the material or discuss it properly which was one of my biggest fears. Prior to this course, I had this misconception that all religions could ultimately be one and the same because we all worship a Higher Power. I thoroughly…

While in this course, I have acquired many skills by presenting and doing the many other activities we, as a class, did. I have acquired skills such as interviewing skills, personality skills, and presenting skills. This course has taught me to not be afraid of who I am and to stop being so shy because it decreases the quality of the presentation or interview. I also have gained skills such as, being bigger in presentations, being business presentable, leaning forward in interviews, knowing the…

Nursing curriculum prepares its students to adapt to the growing needs, we used the course descriptions to investigate for an answer. In reference to the trend discussed previously, particular course descriptions stood unique to others through their seemly significant relation to the need of current nurses. One of which was of 360 Concepts, Processes, and Skills for Evidence-Based Nursing, which stated “The course focuses on understanding basic nursing concepts. The development of communication,…

I decided to take this course, I had my own perception of diversity. I always thought that diversity refers to the differences in cultures, traditions and languages within a multicultural society. The book refers to diversity as “all the ways in which people are different” (Bucher, 2015, p. 2). Through this course I have learned that diversity could be also within a society with people of the same nationality. My perceptions of diversity has changed a lot during this course because now I know…

At the beginning of this semester, I did not expect that the course English 0210 will be useful as most of my older friends, who took it, said that it is very boring and a waste of time. Therefore, I was disappointed and put in mind that it is a very traditional course like many useless courses; and I thought if it happened and made a change, it would generally improve my grammar and English skills but not to a great extent. After approximately two weeks and starting to engage more in the class,…
