Modules 7 & 8

Of everything you learned, what do you think will have the biggest impact on student learning?

Throughout this course, I feel as though I have acquired a wealth of knowledge to help advance my teaching. I greatly believe self-reflection will have the biggest impact on student learning. Self-reflection is a vital tool not only in the classroom, but throughout the world. With self-reflection, one is forced to take control of their learning. Instead of depending on someone to tell you what you need to do or what you could have done better, self-reflection encourages you to ask yourself those questions. The ability to ask such questions will increase your ability to construct multiple strategies to tackle various problems. As a teacher, we must remember that our students are going to solve problems that we will probably never witness in our lifetime. Therefore, we must equip them with the ability to be active problem solvers. In addition, I do believe the incorporation of the various web tools will greatly assist with developing self-reflection skills. Web tools work to level the playing field for all the players. Those players with weak math, reading, etc. skills are able to compensate with the use of such tools.
