Blog Journal 10

I would like to teach either high school or college level history. I believe I’ll use surveys within my classroom to set dates for important assignments and tests that work best for my students. Many times, students become bogged with work one week and have none the next week, so I would like to democratically decide the best times for tests and major assignments amidst my students. I would also like my students to conduct surveys for group projects to decide how best to organize their project (i.e. see what other students know on a topic, so best to address what the students know the least).

I found it interesting that other students have had similar struggles in this course as me. I won’t note names, but others have struggled with Twitter like me. I also enjoyed reviewing the designs and layouts of the websites created by other students. Some had similar layouts as me, but others were somewhat remarkably different.

Next, I would like to learn to use other Microsoft Office tools like OneNote. To achieve this, I will watch videos showing off the features and use OneNote in class. Perhaps, I’ll also explore the resource by making mock notes and trying out the features. I would also like to work with another, so we can learn collaboratively. Working together can keep interest up and we can help one another learn by constructive criticism and informing each other about features.
