              What did you think about Will's conception of schools and learning? I think Will’s conception of schools and learning is a very bold idea. I don't think many people would have the guts to go against the ideals the education system... view reply

                            I personally think that my experience completing this assignment was pretty good. As some of you know I initially thought that we could not google anything for this assignment. That being said, I had time to add extra information that I didn't...

                              My original learning experience was about 15 minutes long. Thankfully, we ended up not presenting that first week because of the snow. After realizing the time restraint on this project, I switched it all around and did something else. I did not...

                                Mike, You did a very nice job with this reflection. This really stuck out to me: I have done a lot of reflecting of my lesson over the last couple days because I really wanted to succeed in all facets of my lesson. It has been difficult...

                                  Holly, I really appreciate that you were thorough and thoughtful in your reflection. It leads me to believe that you really "got" the intended outcome for this assignment.

                                    Justin, I think you did a nice job converting what could have been a very straightforward lesson into the beginnings of a learning experience. Going forward, I suggest you focus on what is fundamental about the topic you are wanting to engage...

                                          Personally, I think my learning experience presentation went well considering the time limit. I obviously did not look up any ideas before presenting therefore I can admit that I was pretty lost in terms of what to present originally. When I was in...

                                              Gina,

                                              I really enjoyed reading your reflection. You powerfully gave voice to some pretty common concerns for teachers, especially new ones:

                                              When I was in high school I always wished my teachers gave us a quick introduction or glimpse we were about to read before just telling us to read a chapter before the following class.

                                              and

                                              I could of had more class participation and just called on people asking what they thought about the trailer. 

                                              As you continue to develop as a teacher candidate, you will find ways to make peace with these concerns. Being centered in what you are up to goes a long way.

                                              I am glad this was a good experience for you.
