This week has been a bit overwhelming. (there is a chance I have said that each week, and will continue to say so until we are done HAHA) We are getting down to the end of the session, and it just seems as though it is never going to end... or maybe I am not ready for it to end, because I feel like I need more time to get things done!
The websites that we had to review and give a small presentation over was a bit mind boggling. I think a lot of us had an issue with getting the correct website to load, however after watching others examples and talking about the assignment, I was able to better understand what it was that we were suppose to be looking for.
With the 2 videos that we watched in class, they were a little harder for me to understand due to the quality. I assume blackboard doesn't stream videos well.. Just another little hiccup in the system.. HAHA.. I am sure that in time they will get it all worked out!
Finally, we reviewed and talked about examples of instructional strategies. I will admit that I wasn't aware of all of the different teaching strategies that are available to us as teachers, that will allow us to keep our students more engaged in the classroom. I have heard of a couple of them, but wasn't ever really aware of the purpose.
I can relate to your feelings. Before this 8 week session even started, I was feeling overwhelmed. I keep telling myself that I am about done. I feel that there is so much to do, but if you stop and think about it, it could be worse.
ReplyDeleteI too wasn't aware of all the different teaching strategies either. Can't wait to try them
