Capture/ Reflection 7

Our class went and took the TSA test, which tests on powerpoint, word, excel and internet use. I didn't like these tests very much. Supposedly by taking these tests then we are technology certified with the state. Sure these programs can be very useful, but I think that considering us tech certified is a joke. The state doesn't give room for improvement or allow for the idea that there is a lot better technology programs out there that make the TSA test programs look crappy. I feel that if the are to test us then there should be different levels of tech certification rather than just generalizing it with a few programs.

This week as the presenters did their teaching on medical technologies. I felt like overall they did pretty well. I still have a hard time observing and critiquing their teaching. I feel like I get to involved in what they are teaching rather than paying attention to how they are teaching. I am still not used to it yet. I have a feeling that this class is going to be a struggle for me. I enjoy teaching, but I don't love critiquing. Hopefully by the end of the semester I will actually grasp all of this stuff.

Media Notes on "Teach something 1"

Here is my media notes from evaluating my Teach something 1 assignment. I feel like I didn't have enough time to teach or else I could have used more Standards.

This post I feel is a little difficult to write this week. I feel that we haven't really gone over anything new. We did talk about the Media notes assignment, that I am not looking forward to finishing. I don't like watching myself teach because I see the actions that I do, and I feel like I speak funny. All is probably true, others may not think so because they are used to it. When I see myself it is a lot different than what I think people see. The Media Notes assignment is going to teach me a lot about myself. Even though I am not happy watching me teach, I feel like I will will very quickly on how to improve not only my teaching skills, but me as a person also.
