Day 5: I believe

I believe: ·       Learning is a life long process. ·       Everyone is both a teacher and a learner . ·       Learning is collaborative . ·       It is essential that teachers foster collaboration, creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking. ·       The most learning takes place in a safe and comfortable environment where students feel love and supported. ·       Mistakes are inevitable and are a product of learning. ·       Everyone is capable of learning. ·       Learning needs to be authentic and purposeful.    For my final project, I am planning to implement an online technology resource to help me create and manage a classroom library because I am switching grade levels next year.

Day 2: Disney

Similar to most adults my age, I grew up watching and collecting Disney movies on VHS. I spent most rainy Saturdays cuddling up on the couch watching Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, or Snow White.   Although I frequently watched these movies with my entire family, I was not raised to celebrate or obsess over Disney or the Disney princesses.

I first went to kahoot.com and was impressed by the clean lines and simple interface. I simply clicked the sign up button. I was easily able to create an account by creating a username and password, providing an email, and selecting the school and gra...
