Farewell!

Hey guys! This is the last post of the semester so I'm feeling very bittersweet.

I have always found Excel very useful. I think I would use Excel in the classroom by using it as a survey or reporting tool. I love the idea of this because it can make the classroom as inclusive as possible. I can give out the surveys to my students on whatever topic, what they wanna learn more, how can I help them be more successful or how am I failing them, and keep it unanimous. By keeping it unanimous it helps make the students feel more comfortable in trying to be more truthful without feeling like they'll receive any repercussions.

After reading about The Flipped Classroom I think it's a good idea. The idea behind the flipped classroom is that the learning happens outside of the classroom and then the classroom becomes a reinforcement to what was taught outside of the classroom. The material is taught through online methods. I like this idea because it allows more time for questions in the classroom and time to actually do the classwork. As a bilingual student, when I first came to the states it was very very hard for me because my mother didn't know how to help me with my homework because it was in a whole other language. This would have been very beneficial for me in my academic career.

I would like to learn how to code. I love the idea of coding because then I can make things exceptionally personal to me and my classroom. Coding can work towards websites or apps. I will learn this new skill by taking online courses, especially during this pandemic, with so much downtime on my hands I can't think of a better skill to learn and perfect.

The topics I found most interesting from the instructor's blog post was definitely the recaps such as the technology website section or the Instructional Design model section. It was a nice and efficient recap of what everyone wrote and the websites found. It's nice to look at a recap because it makes it easier to grow as an individual academically and personally because it allows for an environment where one can grow from others.

I commented on Hayley and Mallory's post.
