A PURPOSE BEHIND

August 30, 2007

This is it ! I had no choice. I could not keep putting the Methods class off any longer:)! As everybody else in the class, I have heard alot of things about this couse that create quite a bit of apprehension, although, people who have completed it also told me that, despite the difficulties, it provides you with skills that are invaluable when you get a job teaching. After my first class I came to realize that the way this course is taught is totally different from others. Here are three new things that I feel I need to work on the most:

_Relationships with peers

_Working with techology

_ Reflecting on my learning

I am looking forward to this challenge because they are all key elements in my future teaching profession. As teachers we need to model good interpersonal relations, use technology in a modern world, and reflect on our practice to allow us to continually improve ourselves. Here is something that nobody told me about this course but I was pleased to discover: Every single activity has a purpose behind it, and that is why it is effective.
