Blog Day 2

I feel that today was really useful for when I start teaching. It was helpful to go over the beginning stages of lesson planning. It was helpful to make one in a group, that way you can bounce and build off of each other. I feel that this was a good lesson for when I start teaching in my own classroom, and how it will be beneficial to work with other teachers and how collaboration with only benefit me but also my students.
I also found it really helpful to put up our objectives and have the class go over them. at first it was hard to hear people pick apart your ideas, but it ended up being a really good learning experience.
A few of the things that I learned was it was good to have alignment of all three big ideas. The objectives are to be stated as student will learn..... or students will know how to do... The second part is about assessment this is things/product/activity. The third section is criteria/ evidence, within the product.

Blog Day 1

We covered many different topics today, being that it was the first day of the quarter. For me it is always a bit overwhelming to hear about everything we have to do. Even more so because this is just a two week quarter. I feel after looking over the syllabus there is so many topics that we are going to cover, and I am worried about how much I am going to remember.
From today what I remember or found important was the face-to-face communication. That face-to-face- communication can come in many different forms. There is non-verbal cues that you have to remember that your students are going to pick up on. This can be hard if there is a wide rang of cultures in the classroom. Being face-to-face can allow for immediate feedback.
I am also looking forward to making a lesson plan, and getting that practice with feedback not only from the teacher but also the class.
