Recommended: Why is diversity important in higher education

Introduce themselves and connect course goals to their role in education. •Recognize and reflect on the diversity of their student population Module 1 had two different parts. The first part was to introduce ourselves to the classmates and discuss our educational goals. I was guided into creating a wiki and introduced to Class Café. The second part of module 1 was an assignment over a reflection. The reflection was over the diversity of student population. The content I mainly focused was the articles from the Brown University website that was provided. The website had a lot of topics such as culture, traits, problems and strategies that an educator should take into consideration when teaching diverse students or ELL students. My reflection …show more content…

However, after I searched for OERs from the links provided by module 5, I realized that there is a lot of free material. For my OERs, I focused on resources that I could use in an anatomy course. As an undergrad, I spent about $400 on reading material for my anatomy course. The three OERs, I discussed were all free and had a lot of useful information that would help anyone that is taking anatomy. As a future educator, I will definitely use the OER’s I found for this assignment and the other OERs my classmates suggested. I gained mastery because I was able to find resources online that I could use and the best part was that they were absolutely …show more content…

Reflect and discuss how the content in Module 7 prepared you to demonstrate mastery on the assignment in Module 7. Analyze and evaluate tools that could be used to teach or assess content in a variety of ways. Throughout the course, I have used a lot of different tools that have made me get out of my comfort zone. I found this to be difficult, since I would only use the tools I was used to. However, thanks to the weekly blog I discovered other tools. If I came across a blog that recommended a tool that I knew could be useful for an assignment, I looked into it. Student’s pros and cons about the different tools allowed me to pick a tool that I could use in other modules. I also reflected on how I can incorporate all these neat tools into my future classroom. I definitely gained mastery because I have a bookmarked a lot of the tools mentioned by classmates in my

    In the beginning of this week, I tried to continue and complete the reading of the previous unit as I'm not just interested in having good grades in my assignments without reading all the materials, but really insist on learning in order to have a solid base in computer science that can boost my carrier. So I started to read the "Problem Solving and Programming Design" and the "Problem Solving Basics" documents and I really enjoyed them as I learned how to decompose a problem in order to design an algorithm and to provide a good and consistent program.

    Throughout the semester i only learned few new things but i did improve and solidify my skill of writing. Before my first year of college my skills have always undermined by other high school english teachers and with that came disappointing grades. I am writing this paper as a reflection of the semester and the progress i have made as a writer. I now understand many things that my high school teachers have done a poor job demonstrating and i am grateful that i decided to take my own route in my education instead of their syllabus. I entered the semester with anxiety that i would perform as i did before but i clearly outdid my own expectations by receiving top grades on my essays.

    Any tool “designed to extend a learner’s capacity for effective action and that requires skill and certain strategies to use efficiently” is a learning technology (Burge 2001, p. 146). A well-structured face-to-face group discussion, a pencil, and print materials fit this definition as do newer tools such as web-based conferencing (ibid.). One of the greatest myths surrounding learning technologies is related to what they are. Because of the term technology, it is frequently believed that learning technologies are instructional devices that make use of computers, the Internet, or some other type of electronic technology such as video and television.

  • Diversity in the Classroom

    Diversity in classrooms can open student’s minds to all the world has to offer. At times diversity and understanding of culture, deviant experiences and perspectives can be difficult to fulfill, but with appropriate strategies and resources, it can lead students to gain a high level of respect for those unlike them, preferably from a judgmental and prejudiced view. Diversity has a broad range of spectrums. Students from all across the continent; students from political refugees, indigenous Americans, and immigrants bring their cultural and linguistic skills to American classrooms. Students not only bring their cultural and linguistic skills, but they bring their ethnicity, talents, and skills.

    Writing a reflection and a summary of dozens of experiences is very challenging and demanding. I cannot count how many ups I had, yet I cannot deny the fact that I had some downs where I could transform them to ups. The year was full of challenges, excitement, fear and lessons. Each Wednesday I had mixed emotions. Every time I came to school I had the same fear and heartbreaks. In my reflection I am willing to compare between Adan at the beginning of the year and new Adan I became.

  • Course Reflection Essay

    1251 Words  | 3 Pages

    During this College Composition course, I came across numerous obstacles and educational involvements. Every factor of this course contributed to my overall learning experience. For starters, we often read out of our textbooks, “The Little Seagull Handbook” and “They Say I Say”. These books helped showcase proper writing techniques. In addition, we would have class discussions that everyone would participate in. This opened my eyes to different viewpoints that could influence my writing. I recall one class we had a debate over a topic and everyone had to choose a side to argue. Then when we wrote argument essays, even though they were on a different topic, it helped me view my topic in different ways. Lastly, the most helpful to my writing was peer review. We were told to read our paper out loud to our partner. Although personally I am quiet and dislike reading out loud, I found this very helpful. Instantly, my partner and I could find grammar mistakes that one may not pick up on while reading silently. Then we could also talk about other possible revisions for my paper. For every paper, we would have conferences with the professor. This was effective as well to have a professional giving corrections and ideas. When we would get back our graded rubrics on the assignments we completed, the instructor would leave comments to
