Reflection 10

This class has probably been the most useful class I’ve taken throughout my college career. I am actually thrilled about the content that was taught to me in this course. I was actually taught things that would help me and prepare me for higher education when I transfer. I loved the fact that I was taught things that I really needed to know. I want to be a teacher, and I was taught how to do so. I liked learning about the different types of lesson plans. The work put into one lesson plan is strenuous. Lesson planning requires a lot of thinking and pre-planning. We learned the value of the new technologies that would help the lesson planning progress be less time consuming. Before this course, I had no idea that lesson planning took so much thought and preparation. I loved learning how to use as many resources as possible to make that job easier. I liked learning about the digital stories. I had no idea that this was such a hit all around with teachers. I use to think that technology would lessen a teachers importance in the classroom, but after being in this class I know that it is not true at all. The digital stories help portray a message to the students. This form of storytelling is both effective and creative. A teacher can tell a story using bright colors, audio, text, music, animation and pictures. I think that this helps all type of learners learn. It is an easy way to teach and get your message across to everyone at the same time. I loved learning about this because it made me excited to be able to complete something so great. The most valuable thing I have learned in this class, to be honest, is everything. Everything I learned in this course would help me become a better educator. This class has prepared me for what’s to come. I know that with the material that I have learned will better my chances at surviving in a university. I know that my hard work will pay off. I will try my best to keep all this information in my mind and put it to good use. I am grateful to have had such a great course. I hope that I continue to have a passion to become a teacher. This course has assured me that I want to do nothing else with my life except become a teacher. And that discovery is something very valuable to me.
