792 Values

10/26/2018

2 Comments

 
The Tour University values are listed below.
  • Respect for the inherent value and dignity of each individual
  • Intellectual inquiry, discovery, and passion for life-long learning
  • Acceptance and appreciation of diversity
  • Compassion and service to society
  • Student-centered education
  • Collaboration and sense of community
  • Promotion of inter-professionalism

    Through this program, I have learned valuable things that will help support my continuation in the educational field. Most importantly, I have ignited a new love of learning within myself, and I am eager to share my new discoveries with my colleagues. I don't think that I can change the world, but I can try to  instill my  love of learning to my students and nephews. I want to share my story that anything is possible regardless of your background. If you take one step forward, naturally you'll take another and so on. Thus is how I have moved through the intimidated program, one step at a time and I can see the finish line after a few hurdles I need to jump.

703 Creating a Capstone Video

10/20/2018

3 Comments

 

Reading some of the assigned articles to support our capstone video was helpful. I like how the article from "Psychology Today" said that the brain is an image processor, it can remember images because they are more concrete. Words are abstract and harder to retain, which explains why I forget peoples' names quickly, but I never forget a face (most of the time).
​
The article about the 9 tips for a "killer video" was helpful as well. It reissasured that creative brief is always better with simple yet effective images. Which now brings me to the image that I have attached with this blog. This explains where I feel I'm at. I have a lot of junk to sort through to get my message across. I honestly don't know where to start , maybe I'm being overcritical of myself. A video can also be a subjective piece of work. What I think is creative and meaningful, someone else might think it's garbage and useless. Can I just hire someone t o make my video? (Just kidding, maybe).

Looking back through my journey in this program, I have noticed that I have substantially increased the  use of technology in my classroom.  The TPACK model has supported my process in planning instruction. I am able to use different types of technology to support my students various levels in the classroom. I am really excited to continue using what I have learned, and continue to explore to endless possibilities of what's out there for my students to continue learning an thriving.

Honestly, I feel that I am not ready to create my storyboard script fro my capstone video. I have the content ready, I know that I will be using Adobe Spark, but I do not have the creativity or motivation. I am trying to not have a fixed mindset when it comes to producing something creative, but I honestly I am so overwhelmed with staying on top of things in my classroom, that I don't have much creativity left for my project.
