This past semester I was placed in a kindergarten class with twenty one students. I was required to have 25 hours of observation. Through my visits at this school I learned a lot about how the classroom was laid out, how the teacher interacted with the students as well as how the students interacted with other students. Throughout the following pages I will discuss my data including demographics. This will include student demographics and teacher demographics. I will also discuss the physical…

individuals. There could also be certain implementations that could be put into place in order to mitigate the negatives and embolden the positive attributes laptops bring into the classrooms. Methods The goal of the project is to understand analyze the impact of personal computers and tablets have on the education of U.S college and university students and how they are used in classrooms. I am particularly interested in how computers are used either to aid education or are they a distraction…

My experience of visiting the Minot Air Force Base, Dakota Elementary School. The school was K-5 grade and I was allowed to observe multiple grade levels/classrooms. My first visit was to a fifth grade classroom. The classroom consisted of 19 students and the desks were in groups of four. They were doing a math lesson on the smart board on how to add decimals. The math series Dakota Elementary uses is McGraw-Hill with Common Core State Standards written in the corner of the book. When I asked…

My one remedial math class is the reason technology is not good in class rooms. I am the type of person that needs to see things for me to understand and comprehend it. This class is all online, with a bunch of different levels in it. The way they teach you isn’t a good way to learn anything. You sit there in a big class room with all different groups. You watch the videos they give you that are online and its up to you to figure out how to do the math. You can’t just watch a video and expect to…

Ring! Ring! The buzzing sound from the alarm went off to wake me up to go to school. OHOOOO wait I have school today, that’s why the alarm went off. I did not wake up right away. Instead I hid under my big warm blue blanket until Dad came, and knocked on the door to make sure I am awake for school. When I finally got out of my bed I went to the bathroom started brushing my teeth and washing my face. As I was walking out of my bathroom door to the hall way, my dad started slowing dancing along…

Imagine it’s the year 1958, you are a teacher at post-secondary level. There are about 100 or so students in your class. What if you wanted to give them a work sheet full of problems to do or even a test? To do this, every test or work sheet would have to be written out by hand. Students and teachers alike have the invention of the photo copier in 1959 to thank for getting rid of this daunting task (Purdue University). A machine as simple as a photo copier or a project can help students and…

This pull-out schedule is an excerpt of a longer pull-out schedule. The current schedule is a model for the longer pull-out schedule. The longer pull-out schedule would incorporate multiple reading and math pull-out section with different students with a range of ability levels. Each pull-out section would be one hour long and incorporate the same break down of components as the ones modeled above. The difference between these different pull-out groups is the lessons that are being taught…

When you are in a school that has seven different second grade classrooms, you can’t help but to notice changes inside and outside the classroom. At the same time when you have students change classes based on their current math level, you would think that students in each classroom are homogeneous when it comes to status level. I am currently in a classroom that is teaching above grade level math, meaning that the second graders in that classrooms are learning material that third graders are…
