CommonCore Videos


Teacher Channel is a website with wide array of videos. All the videos have many subjects and age groups they pertain to. I liked the different videos I watched, they varied in length (some longer than others) however, I enjoyed what I watched. The different material I watched gave me knowledge to what I could use in the future as far as teaching styles and methods. One of the videos I watched was about math in New York City and Common Core State Standards. I thought it was a really good video and it held my attention from start to end. I think this site is great for teachers & future teachers and I will defintiely keep it in mind when I start my career!

Experiencing Group

Vicki and I did our group project together on classrooms of the future, enhancing education. Althrough we had lots of complications with technology in completeing the presentation and the project, I thought we did a really good job.  We used Prezi to make the presentation and it was a really neat presentation program. I thought the skipping stones showed how technology has evolved and changed. At the beginning of the presentation we used Skype, which we discussed in our research project. I thought that helped to draw the audience into our presentation and draw their interest. Although I know I was extremely nervous, I thought we did a really good job and got some only positive feedback which is always nice to hear!
