Reflections

some reflective listening and summaries. At one point, after the interviewee talked about how they feel about panhandling I summarized back to him what he had just said, and used it as a method for transitioning the interview. However, I could use reflections and summaries even more next time. After watching the video of Carl Rogers…

Reflection Assignment 2 Discussion (Group Blog) I chose one of the very first assignments we did in this class because I thought that this first assignment was great learning experience because I thought that as the first assignment being a group discussion, it just brought everyone together and let everyone get to know each other just a little bit more. I was nervous at first, because I am not a social person’ however, after this assignment, I thought that it brought me closer to some of my…

As a student in the Instructional Technology program at Kennesaw State University, I have been required to complete several self-reflections in order to evaluate and reflect upon my professional practice and dispositions. By completing these self-reflections, I have been able to improve and strengthen my ability to effectively model and facilitate technology-enhanced learning experiences. In the ITEC 7460 Professional Learning and Technology Innovation course, I was required to keep a…

He describes the opposition the natural world will have towards God and His will. He gives clear words that God is the Creator of our world, assigning Him as the cause. Paul states that the creation of the world itself is God’s way of showing His invisible qualities (Romans 1:18-21). He did this to show Himself to us and there are people who will choose to neglect giving glory to God and/or recognize Him for what they have in thankfulness. Paul recognizes the problem with the natural world is…

My alarm goes off. It’s six o 'clock in the morning and a balmy twenty degrees in North Brunswick, New Jersey. I drag myself out of bed, quickly review my homework and wake up my nine-year-old brother. I walk downstairs and start making breakfast for my family. After that I would go to school and come straight home to help out my family by cooking, cleaning the house, helping my brother with school, or making sure my mother took her medicine. I repeated this same routine every single day. Since…

It is interesting to reflect and examine just how much the computer has managed to screw up educational practices. Ah the good old days…stand in front of a bunch of students, go over yesterday’s readings for clarification, and then tell them they need to read pages so and so, then send them off. This worked for hundreds of years and now it does not work. Oh well, the genie has been let out of the bottle. After perusing the assigned documents, it is my opinion, in order of importance the three…

I really enjoyed the movie because it shed some light on things I did not know prior to watching Waiting for Superman. I do feel like it was a realistic portrayal of American education today because with my family, every time we would move my parents would be very specific were they chose to live to ensure that we had a great public education. I hear all the time about places that have poor schooling, and that families do not have the means to move their children out of these places, or get them…

Meagan was in the room and I kept thinking about what she would think of me, I wondered if it was even legal to pray with this mom, I was hesitant because I didn’t want to say anything wrong to make her more sad or be a bad representation of Christ, I reasoned that it would be just as meaningful and powerful if I simply prayed to Jesus myself without saying anything out loud… it felt like there were so many reasons not to pray! I asked the Lord for courage. A prayer I often pray is, “Make me…

The book retells the trial and the long conversations held by Socrates and his comrades before he is to drink the poison. Socrates views and ideas about the world were much different than that of the current population. These ideas led him to be accused of corrupting the young and creating new Gods while denying the existence of old ones [Plato 2]. He also speculates the heavens and the earth beneath, making the worse appear the better cause [Plato 20]. Socrates prosecutors called him an…

Throughout college, I have had difficulty with creating short term goals, managing my stress, and my reading comprehension. Therefore, I hoped to practice and develop these areas by implementing strategies throughout the semester. I felt it was necessary to improve these areas since I felt that they were hindering my academic potential and my personal life. Additionally, it is uncommon to be given an assignment that focuses on improving oneself; thus, I wanted to take advantage of the…
