https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9 Please take a moment to reflect on the course and to provide me with feedback to help me improve subsequent online courses. en-us 2018-06-19 18:42:37 UTC 2021-07-28 16:18:42 UTC hello@padlet.com diannabembenek https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/659452103 The excerpts from chapters and articles in each of the modules were very helpful for me as well as convenient when completing the inquiry audit trial.

The resources in the modules provided insight and ideas that will help me create a classroom that fosters inquiry. I am excited to teach my students how to read and write like a scientist, historian and mathematician as they grow and learn.

Having all the assignment information in one place may be helpful for some people like me!

However, I was often confused because of all the different places to submit assignments. I still wonder if I missed an assignment or submitted it in the wrong place.]]> 2020-07-21 18:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/659462854 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660470838 Having the readings in the modules was very convenient and money saving. It was nice to have them all there and organized so that one topic led easily to another. I agree, too, that it really helped with the Audit Trail. The addition of the videos was an interesting addition to the Audit Trail. ]]> 2020-07-22 22:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660470838 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660487213   ]]> 2020-07-22 22:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660487213 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660488686  The biggest takeaway from this class is the strategies and ways to teach within the Common Core standards and use Inquiry to spur learning. Also, learning about literacy within the disciplines, which ties into CC was very helpful.]]> 2020-07-22 22:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660488686 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660491080 I think one thing that would help would be to cut down the number of different places where comments, work, and ideas are exchanged. I get that it's to show the different ways of communicating with students but, it became really confusing. ]]> 2020-07-22 22:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/660491080 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663633505 The readings were interesting and provided a good explanation of disciplinary literacy.  All of the ideas about how to implement disciplinary literacy in our classrooms were also helpful.  The suggestions for how to include writing in different disciplines were great and will be very useful. 
One of the most helpful things to me about the course was that you responded to e-mails in a timely manner and were approachable, supportive and encouraging when I had a question or concern.  I struggled a bit (probably more than a bit) with all the different pieces and places to post and submit but you were always patient and understanding with me and willing to go "above and beyond" to  help.  ]]> 2020-07-27 22:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663633505 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663638591 I struggled with all of the different places to submit assignments and, like Dianna, I still wonder if I did in fact do them all. With the other classes I have taken from you I found the responding to others' work easier (and I think I did a better job of responding in those classes ) because all responses were posted in one place (the discussion board in Blackboard).]]> 2020-07-27 22:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663638591 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663643970 The biggest "take-aways" with me are what disciplinary literacy is and the importance of implementing it in my classroom.  Also, all the big and little ways to get students to read, think and write from discipline-specific perspectives will be really useful.]]> 2020-07-27 22:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663643970 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663646707 Using different "venues" on which to post is a good idea but if there were some way that you could lessen the number of places where we posted work it might be helpful. I do not know if this would be a possibility but perhaps doing "Padlet" for 3 weeks, then "Google Docs" for three weeks (instead of the back and forth). It might make things easier.]]> 2020-07-27 22:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/663646707 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664560774 I found the type of assignments we were asked to do most helpful. We applied what we learned through course readings by completing assignments/reflections. For example, compiling the text set, journaling, blog writing, etc. In my opinion, the assignments weren't busy work. I feel that Mrs. Mitchell asked of us what we should ask of our students (format of assignments). Our assignments looked a lot like the strategies and ideas we read about! ]]> 2020-07-29 00:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664560774 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664568281 All information was helpful. ]]> 2020-07-29 00:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664568281 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664576384 There are many take aways. I learned so much! Umm, where to start? I would definitely say one take away is to consistently teach and model how mathematicians and scientists read and write within those specific disciplines. Another take away is that reading and writing can be seamlessly integrated regularly in the disciplines- it doesn't have to be like trying to fit a square in a triangle (or whatever the saying is- I'm brain dead at the moment-LOL). Another take away is that we need to prepare our students to be college and career ready- we need doers and thinkers and reading and writing in the content area will help prepare our students for critical thinking and problem solving to be ready for the years ahead. ]]> 2020-07-29 01:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664576384 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664590214 All the readings and assignments were extremely beneficial but I couldn't stay caught up. A lot of that had to do with me getting a late start due to EOY teaching responsibilities. That last week was crazy busy and I didn't think to check USCU email either for course syllabus and assignments (my fault). I was checking my "work" email like crazy and then a lightbulb turned on that told me to check Blackboard. From that point, I was a hamster on a spinning wheel. Perhaps for the summer courses that move extremely fast, maybe reduce the amount of reading or discussion board responses just a little?? I am thankful for the extra time to complete assignments and the leniency on due dates. If not, I'd be chopped liver. Or for initial contact, use preferred email..if given. ??? Thank you for your patience, feedback and expertise in the literacy field! ]]> 2020-07-29 01:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/664590214 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/1656941759 Karen C. I am just finishing and I appreciate being able to finish the course. Thank you! I learned a lot about teaching in the disciplines as a professional. You furnished fantastic material to read and very interesting choices to represent different disciplines.  I am sorry that I  had to stop for a while. I did have lots of health challenges,  Maybe too much stress as well. I know so much more about reading and writing and various strategies.  I feel more confident about teaching writing in each discipline.  I know now my confusion was about maneuvering through the course assignments and modules ,etc. effectively in a timely and orderly manner. I did not feel confident about this. It made me nervous and stressed.]]> 2021-07-21 08:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/1656941759 https://padlet.com/dawnmitchell/wo7iribfhxa9/wish/1663261123 The readings were the most helpful in the course.  I did enjoy trying to respond to the readings that from each of the disciplines as my students have to do. As Ms. Mitchell put us in the shoes of our students. I am more compassionate to my students, and  I will make sure that I show my students the compassion that I have for them as I enter this school year.(21-22). 
Ms. Mitchell I must say the moving around was not helpful for me in passing the class, but it too helped me to be more tech savvy and tenacious in trying to accomplish a difficult task even with my personal challenges and COVID-19 strains.

I did not know at first that there was an area for  different answers. So this is a repeat in part of the answer. I could not get it to copy a section of my answer. Here goes.
