The Beginning of My Journey

Hello and welcome to my very first blog post! I am very excited to have the opportunity to have my own blog where I can write all about me and what goes on in my day-to-day life. I have never done this before, so hopefully it is smooth sailing from here. I survived the first week of classes, which wasn't too bad. I like all of my professors as well as all of my classes. I'm very eager to start all of them, especially my Social Studies Methods class where I will learn more about how to be a great teacher one day. I already created my Bitmoji classroom that I will paste a picture of below. 

I designed my Bitmoji classroom to be simple, yet inviting. I made it super colorful and also included some of the things that I love the most. For example, I included a dog sitting on a beanbag because I love dogs. Fun fact, I actually have 3 dogs! I also included 2 motivational posters in my classroom that are super important. I also have a plant, a desk, some textbooks and a globe to represent my favorite subject in school -- Social Studies! Up on my chalk board I also have 3 different links to click where you are able to learn more about me. 


Some fun facts about me:
1. I have 1 sister and 1 brother
2. I have 3 dogs
3. My major is Social Science with a certification in Childhood Education and Special Education with a concentration in History
4. I am a commuter student from Newburgh, NY

Is Social Media Ruining Our Lives?

  When I look at this cartoon I cannot help but think how social media is ruining not only the lives of children, but everyone else in the world too. It has slowly taken over everything as it has so much power to consume every aspect of our lives. Another idea that comes to mind when I look at this poster is the fact that the teacher has little to no knowledge of social media. If you are going to be a teacher in this generation, it is important to be caught up on all the new fancy technology out there especially because it is just going to keep getting better and better. The use of technology must be made aware in the classroom, not only for the students but for the teacher as well. This way, the  teacher will be able to engage with the students in a more meaningful way. There are many useful tools and websites out there that can be extremely helpful when it comes to engaging students technologically.

Why the World Matters

  HUG THE EARTH Walking along feeling free  Feeling the Earth here with me  And I love her. She loves me  I hug the Earth, the Earth hugs me.  She's our friend,  We'd like to be together forever.  The Earth is our garden  It's a beautiful place  For all living creatures  For all the human race,  Helping Mother Earth  We can peacefully roam,  We all deserve a place  We can call our home.  Food is a treasure from soil and the sea.  Clean fresh air from the plants and the trees  The warmth of the sun giving life each day  Turns water into rain, it’s nature's way.  And I would like to thank you, Mother Earth,  I like to see you dressed in green and blue   I want to be by you. Lorraine Bayes My Thoughts:  I really enjoyed reading this poem and it was very heartfelt to me. It made me realize just how important the Earth is. We must take care of the Earth and make sure that n...

The Importance of Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy is extremely important for all educators to know because it is a useful tool in the planning process.  It is defined as a set of models that are used to classify learning into different levels of complexity.  Bloom’s Taxonomy consists of three domains that reflect the types of learning we all do. Each domain has different levels of learning. They are put in order from the simplest to the most complex.  The three domains include: 1. The cognitive domain: thinking and experiencing 2. The affective domain: emotion and feeling 3. The psychomotor domain: practical and physical Bloom's Taxonomy also includes 6 different levels: 1. Creating   designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing, devising, making 2. Evaluating checking, hypothesizing, critiquing, experimenting, judging, testing, detecting, monitoring 3. Analyzing comparing, organizing, deconstructing, attributing, outlining, finding, structuring, integrating  4. Applying implementing...
