Idea of Progress

the semester where it has helped the group to think a step of the project through all the way before jumping into it. For example, I had brought up the idea of doing a parody Dove Beauty campaign video which everyone seemed to love. While I was thinking small scale with one fruit or vegetable, the group got excited and started thinking of bigger ideas. It got to the point where I withdrew myself from the conversation and wrote a few questions about the filming process, location, and props. I…

Dr. Dewett provided many key ideas that we often forget or need to be reminded of as we go through our careers. It was very rewarding to hear ideas that each of us have within our control, that we just need to draw from to make ourselves better leaders and to help others become better leaders. The primary idea for me was that of authenticity. In our corporate culture, authenticity tends to be diluted. Authenticity is more than being a professional because people what to know who we are as a…

simultaneously which allowed me to start processing new thoughts, ideas and knowledge. In addition to this Piaget (1986) also had a theory on children 's play. Piaget(1986) put forward a theory that children would go through 3 stages which were practice play, symbolic play and games with rules. Each of these stages helped strengthen children 's knowledge and it is through play that they were able to gain a understanding of their world. Piaget 's ideas are widely known and are currently being…

Emerson argues that the “men thinking” should not have too many fears. This idea is established as the “man thinking” is the elite who is not as ignorant as many people in the society. Emerson believes that, “Brave; for fear is a thing, which a scholar by his very function puts behind him. Fear always springs from ignorance" (233)…

It is not the act of mimicking the teacher, drilling concepts, and computations, but taking risk, thinking through problems, and defending mathematical ideas (Bay-Williams, Karp, & Walle, 2016). While thinking through a problem writing is crucial in defending mathematical ideas. However, in mathematics writing is not only comprised of words and/or numbers, but also illustrations like pictures, tally marks, etc. can help communicate the student’s math thinking (Bay-Williams…

day break from school. It is red ribbon week at school today and the children either wore tie-dye or a tie to not let drugs tie them down. The children came in and wrote in their morning journals about their long weekend. I thought this was a great idea for creative writing in the classroom and getting the children use to writing. Every day one of the students leads the classroom and picks activities for the day. They get to lead the classroom in the morning with the calendar on the Promethean…

To me, being invisible is like having an unlimited supply of your favorite cookie. In the beginning, you start slow, you are reasonable with your cookie consumption. You eat the cookie maybe after a meal as dessert but later you can 't get enough of the cookie. Eating one leads to another being consumed, which in turn leads to another, and all of a sudden, several months later, you’ve gained several pounds, probably have some type of sugar problem, and just the thought of a cookie will make you…

There are always new ways of doing things or better ways that have yet to be discovered or new inventions to be though up that would make a job easier. Many times in history people have come up with a new idea or way of doing something and have been laughed at. Just because it hasn’t been done yet doesn’t mean it can’t be done. We should always be learning, adopting and changing based on new experiences and information. I would hate to see us turn into…

on track to accomplish steps towards your goal. Because if not everyone is on task it can set back the whole plan. That point is why it 's critical to make sure you keep everyone you 're working with motivated. That means encouragement, rewarding progress and positive…

this day, I’m not sure what happened or how, but I found myself enrolled with her, attending class on a regular basis, and taking the first steps toward the first major accomplishment of my life since graduating college. I subconsciously measured progress by the number of one-steps we had learned, tested when recommended to do so, and re-enrolled at the end of every session. Something had finally stuck. My focus was always on the current challenge with the ultimate goal always seeming far off.…
