First week into the Future

The first of part of the work that was assigned to us this week was the youtube video. The video was about people says "When I Become a teacher..." and would say a negative quality about a teacher. It is scary to think that there are teachers out there. When I was in 3rd grade I had a teacher that would chew gum and would enforce the rule that there would be no gum chewing in her class. This lead to a lot of confusion within the class because the teacher was doing it and we couldn't. 


The next part I looked at a professional blog by Dr. Scott McLeod. It gave me a good example on what my blog should look like when i want it to look professional. It was also helpful to look at what he wrote in the bio section and what he blogged about. I hope that once I get used to blogging, mine can look like that.


For another class , I did a reading and it was about rule making. I found this important because I that is something that should be established early. In Kim Kennedy's class, we did an activity that involved making rules by coming together as a class and writing our hopes and dreams down. Then we were split into groups and wrote down 8 rules as small groups. When we came together we grouped all the rules together and came out with only 3 simple rules and that was easier to see and remember. This activity is something I hope to do in my future classroom.


The final thing I did was working and becoming familiar to my iPad. I have brought it to class and it is so much lighter than bringing my computer to class. I also have tried to find apps to use in my future class. It is amazing some of the apps that I have found.
