This has been a very interesting class. I feel like I am going to learn so much as the semester goes on. To be honest I thought twitter was going to be busy work at first. As the weeks have gone on I feel like with twitter I am learning about new ideas from what I have found and from my classmates. I am excited about all the new things I am learning this semester as it will help shape me as a future teacher. This class does involve a great amount of time working on classwork, but it will be beneficial when I student teach. I am starting my week off by looking at the work for this class early each week. This has helped me stay on track with my work and take the time to provide quality work. I have already started looking for museums to use in our group project. I attended an event this past weekend at the Gregory Creek Homestead museum. My daughter wanted to attend this event and I found it very interesting. As we walked around in my mind I thought about ways I can incorporate this into my future classroom. I used it as a learning experience for my daughter and myself. We talked about how people lived during this time and the difference between then and now. I feel that my learning this month relates to standard 3 Teachers know the content they teach. As I unpack standards, tweet and find local museums, I am learning information that I can apply in my future classroom. All of this information will help me align my instruction with the NC standards. I can also connect my learning to NC teacher standard 4 teachers integrate and utilize technology in their instruction. Through tweeting, creating videos I am learning how I can use different types of technology in my future classroom.
