I thought this course gave a lot of good insight to how to plan lesson and direct students in way to help the

General Methods of CTE Teaching

It was very informative and has gotten me excited to implement some of the innovative and collaborative approaches in my future teaching practices.

I appreciated the amount of resources given in this course. This was very helpful being that I am new to teaching and giving me a solid foundation for starting off positively in the classroom. I especially appreciated the examples, charts, and resources given and that they can be continuously used and applied in the classroom.

I loved all the resources I was given! Very informative videos. I appreciated how they were short but more of them as well. It made it easier to find time to do a little here and there.

Excellent course! Loved the Google Classroom and YouTube activities. The length of the videos helps with having a busy schedule as well!

So many great resources! I will be using these programs for future professional development.

I loved the online resources that they reviewed in the training. I appreciated how the videos gave you different approaches to manage a classroom.

I enjoyed the course. It gave me so many different resources and very informative videos. This will help me in my classroom as I am new to teaching and excited to use these tools.

The cool tools section and the app section was most useful. I wish you could go into more detail with that section. I currently use google and youtube with my students, so this was a repeat. The overall layout was nice.

Great external resources that I was not familiar with, especially because 2020 will include a lot of virtual learning.

As a new teacher, I appreciated that the DoIt activities will be directly applicable to my classroom this year.

2021-07-07 14:41:53 UTC

Some of the tools that I can incorporate into my classroom I am looking forward to using. The Posters, the use of SAMR model, Virtual Jigsaw and Gallery Walk will aid my processes in the classroom. Some of the info in regards to Google is a bit dated and has been replaced by Meets and similar applications that aid in the classroom to replace Zoom and other cost associated elements to the districts. Overall, besides the amount of time that had to be put into the process, I found the information applicable.

I learned a great deal from this class - PBIS and Safety protocols especially. The assignments were a bit lengthy at times - one section was 8 pages of questions, some were asked a number of different ways. I enjoyed the different presenters and the approaches that each used. I can see where having had this class at the beginning of my career as an instructor could have aided me better than in year three. I enjoyed the reflection portions of each presentation and the depth that most modules went to.

I really enjoyed this class. I liked that it was self-paced, which was so helpful and manageable since I have 2 kids ages 2 and under. The DoIt activities where also very helpful as I could take lessons that I'm already teaching and use them in the DoIt activity, or use something from my DoIt activity and apply it to my classroom. I'm very happy that I started with this course first and I'm looking forward to starting my next course!

To be honest, I wish I would have stuck with the protocol and 'line up' of the classes and would have taken them in order. With Covid, I felt that Technologies would have aided me better teaching virtually, so I opted to take that class first - this was a slow process for me since I started this class - Lesson Planning - at the same time I started now the 10th teaching platform and my district switched to a block format (more to learn all the time) so I was not able to blast through this material as fast as I would have liked. That being stated, the first part on videography - especially after having done that structure for the past two years now - would have been nice to test out of. Also, the fact that our district uses Google to work within and the assignments were in AOS was an interesting struggle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CemlqQyv2s is some of the videography work I have already accomplished - the last two thirds of the lessons I found really useful - especially when it came to coming up with alternative forms of assessment that did not include paper and grading everything. All in all, I enjoyed the class. 279 videos however, with the attached Doits ... a bit lengthy - I wish there was some way of testing that proved competencies or a testing out process, if possible for future consideration would be nice. BDE!!!

RE: Input on the class

2022-03-31 14:44:40 UTC

This class provided me foundational applications to the classroom, however, I wish some of the material would have been applicable to Career & Technical Education with a focus on some of the subjects we teach - culinary is my field, autos and tech ed were not even addressed, sewing and fashion design and anything health care related were not addressed. I was looking forward at the start of this class to see examples and applications of CTE in the classroom, but this program had little to aid my teaching style or my classroom presentations.

Thank you for pulling this class together and providing thought provoking materials.

2022-04-21 22:17:26 UTC

This class has given me more to think about in my line of questioning and assessment methods.

RE: My assessment of this class -

2022-05-26 23:32:21 UTC

To me, CTE is Career and Technical Education - this literacy program was more focused on entry level elementary school aged children and the teachers who instruct at that level. I teach culinary arts, hands on cooking classes and our element of literacy within this classroom deals with reading and researching recipes and origins of foods. I do several team and individual research projects on specific foods and areas of the globe, cultures and techniques but few of the 'tools' within this presentation/class will be incorporated into my program with much depth. Also, the 100 ish videos on tablets seemed a bit excessive and redundant. I think those messages could have been surmised in fewer presentations. If we are focusing on Career and Technical Educations, maybe the platform could be geared more towards those fields rather than just using an ELA platform and changing the titles of the class, in my humble opinion. Have the Best Day Ever!!!

The specific classroom content and tech that can be used with the students was helpful.

One big takeaway is that I need to plan for more sustained silent reading time for my students. The challenge will be differentiation, as my classes typically include students who read at considerably different speeds.

I liked that it was online and self-paced. This allowed me to complete the course over the summer when my life was a little less hectic. Some of the lessons and DoIt Activities will be useful as I begin teaching again in the Fall.

I really liked the course overall, and am very glad it was self paced. I thought that some of the "do it" activities would have been helpful before I entered the classroom. I found that I am already doing many of the things described as far as asking questions, building 21st century skills and pushing students into higher DOK levels in some areas. What I will be able to apply are some of the communication strategies that I had not considered before.

There were several sections that were very useful although it was mostly directed for an elementary teacher and not a high school teacher.

I liked the information on how to manage the Google classroom - how to add, delete, and modify content

Demographic Research

I was interested in the specific demographics and psychographics of students in Wisconsin. I believe this to have been useful in my journey to better myself as an educator, but more importantly, an educator in Wisconsin.

I think this class was well put toghether with lots of great points but it seemed to be geared too elementary students and not high school level at times.
