Blog Entry #8 Assignment

This blog or portfolio that we are creating with our thoughts and notes written on them is really helpful and effective to help me develop my teaching skills. I had forgotten some of the things or views that I had expressed and love that they are here at my disposal anytime I want. I just wish some of the video and audio assignments that we turned in were all handed in through our blogs that we I can review them years later to either motivate me to be better or laugh and think how foolish I was at the time. I have no idea how on target I am, but I think I am doing good with the teachings and hope that I will be proud of how good I was in this class to help me get a leg up in the teaching industry. Yeah I think having this blog has really helped me dig deeper and understand and apply my service hours and try to see if they were effective and what I want to incorporate and not incorporate into my future career. I think the biggest development I see from my first to last blog post is that there is more than one way to teach. As teachers we are handed a book that has the required teaching criteria's and that we need to present it to students to be able to pass off state testing that occurs at the end of the years. This class has taught me that class doesn't have to be boring and we can be adventurous and explore new and different styles of teaching to help the students learn better than the boring lectures that we've all experienced in our classes at one point in time or the other.
