Bingo! Bingo! Bingo!

For the Midterm Bingo Project, I decided to use the digital resource Canva. I have used Canva in the past and I am very comfortable with it. It is a great resource to use in the classroom as well because there are so many different things you can incorporate into it. For example, in my presentation I utilized the video feature that is embedded within Canva to record myself talking about everything I learned thus far in the semester in my social Social Studies Methods class.

While I was creating this presentation, I touches upon various topics that we have learned and explored. By doing this, I realized that I have learned a lot! I was also able to refresh my memory while creating this presentation because I had to look back through the textbook and multiple resources located on eclass.

I truly enjoyed creating my Midterm Bingo Project because it allowed me to be creative and include everything I wanted to. It also pushed me outside of my comfort zone with the video aspect because I have never really recorded myself talking and put it in a presentation. However, I can now say that I feel a lot more confident in doing it and will be doing it in my future projects. I was also able to add my Bitmoji and some fun stickers throughout my presentation to make it look aesthetically pleasing.

Brrr...Icebreaker Time!

Fieldwork Group 1: The Globetrotters Miss Maria, Miss Danielle, Miss Mary, Miss Kayla, & Miss Allison It's the beginning of fieldwork and I can't wait! Today, all 5 groups were able to introduce ourselves and play unique icebreaker games with the 4th grade students to get to know them better. After all, it is extremely important to get to know your students before teaching them! All of the students seemed to have a fun time playing each group's game and it was great to interact with them for the very first time. For my group, we created a game where a wheel was spun with each 4th grader's name on it. Whichever name it landed on was the one who answered the question at that time. After a name was chosen, a question was chosen after. Some of the questions that were asked were: - Sweet or Salty? - Do you have any siblings? - Dogs or Cats? My group did not have enough time to let every student answer a question due to timing, which made some students upset, but the ...

Models, Strategies, or Methods...Which one?

Models, strategies, and methods all play an important role in the lives of educators as well as their classrooms. However, they are not all the same thing. Although they do share some similarities, they also have many differences. To begin, models represent the broadest level of instructional practices and present a philosophical orientation to instruction. They are used to select and structure teaching the strategies, skills, and methods for a particular instructional emphasis. Within each instructional model, there are several different types of strategies. Strategies determine the approach a teacher may take in order to achieve learning objectives. Strategies can be broken down into five subcategories: direct, indirect, interactive, experiential, and independent. Methods are the most direct way of creating learning environments and specifying the nature of the activity in which the teacher/learner will be involved during the lesson to achieve the educational goal at hand. Some metho...
