"What I've Learned This Year" by Mr. McClung.

Blue beautiful sky with a very nice orange sunset gently stretched across the horizan fading day into night.
I thought this blog was wonderful. I will definitely read it again and again as I begin my career as a teacher. There were so many ideas that I felt really gave me some insight on what to expect my first year as a teacher. Mr McClung made me feel OK not to be perfect but to remember that I am there for the children. I do not want to ever take myself too serious to the point I allow stress to take over my classroom.


The main point I took away from him post is to always remember that your students are just children who will make mistakes and that you should not be to hard on them. The worst way to try and reach a child is to make them uncomfortable in you classroom and make the learning experience something they do not look forward too. If my students are scared of me the will not learn as effectivly.


I always want to be the kind of teacher that gives my all and is not afraid to keep trying. I want students to experience a different type of teaching that carries them out of the classroom to a successful adult life. I would love to have a student thank me when the recieve and award and know that the made it because I helped them see how wonderful they really are.

New regulations require that all info be submitted to a review board before it can be submitted onto the Wikip edia database. I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

See You Later

You only say good bye to people you never plan to see again, this is more like see you later. I do not like the word Good bye it sounds so permanent. I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
