About me...
I'm currently a Junior at the University of South Alabama, majoring in Elementary Education.
My Philosophy on Teaching...
I plan to implement my contribution to my student’s education in the following ways: a open and trusting relationship with all of my students, a constant awareness of classroom curriculum and ever-changing educational technology, a patience and understanding of students’ different backgrounds and environments, a patience and understanding of different students’ varying development and learning processes, a constant and effective relationship with the parents and guardians of my students to promote consistent success in learning, including the lessons of respect, cooperation and kindness in every day of class, setting an example of good morals in my everyday life in hopes of translating those morals to my students, informing my students of the importance of respect for the entire world, its people and the environment, by reflecting on myself often in order to make changes and improve me as a teacher for the sake of my students, and most importantly, my desire to make learning happen, all day everyday in my classroom.
Voicethreads are a great way to keep students interested in learning by introducing material in a new and exciting way. Not only will students be more open to learning in this new way, but I think that voicethreads in particular enable teachers to successfully get key points across. An idea I have had is to use voicethreads as a review between instruction on the subject and the assessment.
