I am sorry for this blog being a little late. I have been having trouble finding a way how to write on the class blog as opposed to my personal blog, but now I think I have finally figured it out.
On Tuesday, October 2, the class went down to L100 in the Library for a talk on how to best utilize the resources contained within the library. The librarian who talked to us was very helpful and showed the class a few ways to best get the information that we will need. She showed us that most of the books on educational subjects were down on the bottom floor with pink tags by their call numbers. Also she showed us a website for videos called unitedstreaming.com. This website was very informative and had some great material that we, as future teachers, can use in planning our own lessons. After her presentation, we broke into groups. In these content groups we selected a topic in our field and began looking for different kinds or sources that we could use to get information.
On Thursday, October 4, we spent the class down in the library again. We were in our groups and we went about gathering different sources that we could use in teaching our subjects. After gathering as much information as we could for most of the class, each group went up to the front and shared its findings with the rest of the class. I thought that this activity was pretty interesting because it opened up new ways to get information to make your lessons more engaging.
For the next class we had to:
- Listen to the podcast
- Read our assigned section of Teacher Man
- Blog and comment on another classmates blog
