I feel like we always talk about how we learned "useless" information in the classroom that never really led us to what we need to know for the future. For example, I always say that I could tell you about AP Calculus, but went into college not knowing how to do laundry or file taxes. How can we as educators relate the classroom to the real world? Is this considered moving too far away from curriculum?

Relating to my Capstone, I see how classes at Stonehill have been, were we can have these open conversations on say topics like race or gender. I had never really had those conversations in my previous years of schooling. How can we as future educators allow for a classroom with these open conversations?

Moving online during the pandemic was so difficult for students, including me. I think that more knowledge and practices of virtual learning need to be shared to both teachers and students.

I find that proctoring can be very helpful, especially now that we have been stuck online. I know that some of my MTELS have been moved to online proctoring and this was so safe and helpful!

Turn and Talks can be helpful in any classroom. Collaboration is important and turn in talks do not put too much pressure on students, and can allow for communication and new ideas.

Can have of positive effect on ALL students

Not just an experiment. You get something out of it indeed of just saying you “blew up something”

Using real world problems

Easier to bring in student’s lives instead of reading a textbook

Helps students be more engaged

Science is not something you get but something you do

Students run with what THEY want to learn about instead of the teacher telling them what to read or do(What are they interested in and what motivated them)

Critically thinking

Learning why it is a wrong answer instead of being told

Labels and stereotypes do NOT define students abilities or academic achievements

Keep students engaged, it is extremely tough to stay motivated while learning online

Use breakout rooms, try to respectively push students to want to unmute, allow students to participate by writing in the chat, use online platforms such as Google Docs where students can type on documents together

Give students the independence to work in groups or with share partners, without worrying too much and occasionally checking in

Allow students to explain their work that they complete online because they would have that opportunity in person

Learning at home and online is HARD! Allow students to have some struggle and give them that support they need, not everyone may have the same supports or resources at home

Very different way of completing a preprac, but I learned so much about the Google resources that I would never had gotten a chance to do

# data[].attributes.body
I think we all think that being online all the time, and using Google everyday makes us accustomed or feel as if we do know the ins and the outs, but by using Google Educator, I realized that there was so much more to learn. I never really thought about all the different aspects of things like Google Docs or Spreadsheets, and came to learn that there was so much more I could actually do with these platforms. I also found it exciting to learn about how we can use these as being future educators. I know that the kids I tutor do use Google Classroom, and now I am able to see how I can navigate it with them as students, as well as know how to use it from a teaching standpoint.

GAIN COMES FROM IT!

-Cycle of struggle and feedback, struggle and feedback that eventually leads to reward
-Although it may be seen as easier to just give the reward or show how something is done, productive struggle allows one to learn how to learn and gain knowledge on aspects they may not have known before
