And, We're Back!

Today in class, we made info-graphics, which are really cool btw, and I enjoyed it. It was really refreshing to have a class where we just reflected, and we didn't have to learn anything new. I think that if I put anymore into my brain, it might just explode. But oh well. 

I've never had a class, where we stopped in the middle of the semester to self-evaluate where we are personally. If I did, I either don't remember or I didn't take it seriously. I like how Dr. Clark substituted the info-graphic for a standard pencil and paper write-up. It made the project more interesting and I was more willing to take it seriously! I don't mean to sound harsh when saying that, but with a boat-load of work to do, I'm at a place where anything that's not meaningful or important, probably won't get done. 

The info-graphic is centered around NCTCS #5 as a whole: teachers reflect on their practice. The cool thing about this is that while we're reflecting on our progress and linking it to how it can help us with future teaching, Dr. Clark can also use our information to reflect on herself and her class. She can use our reflections to determine what she needs to go back over, what she needs to focus on in the near future, is her pacing accurate to continue throughout the semester, etc. It's amazing how much you can get out of one simple assignment!
