Science Methods Sp22 Advice to F22 by Tom Higginbotham https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22 Go BIlls! en-us 2022-05-12 13:52:02 UTC 2022-05-16 01:21:06 UTC hello@padlet.com You have a lot of freedom in how you want to complete your assignments. You are able to work in the way that makes most sense and is most effective to you. macycbroderick https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181585603 2022-05-12 16:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181585603 Figuring out ways to make my lessons beneficial, accessible, and engaging for all types of learners. Thinking outside of the box to make sure that any student is able to be successful, and adjusting my lessons if that is not the case. macycbroderick https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181589580 2022-05-12 16:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181589580 Lily Medeiros https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181594278 I enjoyed being able to draft an entire grades worth of science curriculum and then fine tune smaller units. Also, 3 out of my 4 classes this semester taught UDL practices, and this class was the one that helped me understand it the best!]]> 2022-05-12 16:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181594278 clarefanning10 https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181598504 I like how the class is mostly discussion-based. This allows me to better understand the material and learn new ideas from classmates. I also appreciate how we are given different options on how to complete the assignments. ]]> 2022-05-12 16:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181598504 clarefanning10 https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181603674 The knowledge that changed most for me from this class is how to create mini units from a larger unit.

Also, I liked learning about UDL and understand why it is so important. We have learned that curriculum is not designed to fit the "average", and if it is, we have designed it for nobody. With this in mind, it is important we include multiple means of representation for our students. jswhite2000 https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181931982 2022-05-12 21:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181931982 I liked learning about how stars are formed. To be honest, I feel like I had very minimal background about this topic, and I can honestly say that I feel as though I am more well rounded about it. This is critical knowledge to have as an educator, as students will most likely be learning about stars in the upper elementary levels. I am happy that I got to learn more about this. jswhite2000 https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181935596 2022-05-12 21:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181935596 fascinating jswhite2000 https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181942094 2022-05-12 21:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2181942094 https://padlet.com/thomashigginbotham/Sp22F22/wish/2182098988 That the class has an informal format and that you have a ton of freedom with your projects and assignments!

You can really put yourself out there in ways that you may not be able to in other classes. You will inevitably make mistakes, which you can then learn from.
