My Teaching Philosophy

     The first connection I had with this chapter are the different ways that students can actively

engage while learning. The first is One-on-one learning which is geared towards an individual need.

Second learning group where students are able to share ideas with other students. Third Inquiry 

learning is where students can research information in many ways. And Finally Metacognitive 

thinking is when students examine their own learning methods whether it be through selfexplanation

of self-evaluation. I must agree with the last method, students are able to improve their own

performance from the past mistakes. 


     Second was the idea of feedback between teachers and students. Feedback is one the instructional

practice that has been found to promote increased success for students (Hattie, 2009). I think that

feedback is a great way when it comes to using technology. Teachers are always looking for ways to

improve in their class and students are looking for ways that they can learn without being bored.


     Finally teachers need to understand that outside of the classroom students use technology more

than 50 percent.  Students are fascinated with digital environment. An example is there are students

that can complete math drills on a computer with games that help stimulate their learning. It is

puzzling to me that if the same work was give on a regular worksheet the result would probably not

be the same.

  1. It is interesting isn't it that students these days would prefer to do their worksheets online as it involves their digital devices?! To what do attribute that preference? Would the same reference be for the online version of reading books? I think you got started on a great reflection but it needs to be much more developed (as with your other concept connections). Also, your digital tool needs to be one you create yourself - see my comments on your last post and this one does not appear to be as the creator is named as Brittany Dixon and then you would need to give proper attribution. I think that there's something wrong with your formatting as well - if you are copying and pasting, it does not look nice (spacing/paragraphs and white background on the dark red in lines) on this particular template and/or maybe you just need to re-format?
