To earn 2 hours of seminar hours, I completed an online activity to familiarize myself with my basic rights as an employee and the right of my employer. Doing this activity helped me learn that it is my employers’ right to be open or closed any day that they choose. I used to think that most places had to be closed for Fourth of July or Thanksgiving; but the activity proved me wrong. I also learned that an employee can be fired for whatever reason, but if the…
Gomes). Some changes should be made for them such as short writing or more time to solve a test (GiGi’s PlayHouse). These children can perform normal activities, but may need some…
The creative curriculum opens up many doors for little minds. Children learn from doing things themselves through play. Three objectives in this activity are demonstrating balancing skills, solves problems, and demonstrating fine motor skills. I will change up the classroom just a little by bringing out new building blocks and other objects to build with and assigning tasks in each center to try that have to do with building and using fine motor skills. In this plan all children will be able to…
This was not only to get the actors used to the feel of the balls but also to even out the communication field. In this activity there was to be no talking or signing. As Britton says “the ‘real’ element of communication (the ball) is passed from one person to another” (p.330). I wish to take this communication and use it to break down the language barrier between the deaf…
In the lesson Cindy and I had planned for the Week 6 Tutorial for the Unit LAN1260, the specific learning goal was to present and justify a point of view relating to a prediction about the content of a text and to clarify the understand of content as it unfolds in formal and informal situations allowing student’s to connect ideas of their own experiences presenting and justifying a point of view. Students were introduced to the key learning goal and were given an example of the task to be…
clusters that could be addressed simultaneously, which enables me to handle a variety of tasks at one time. For instance, I worked at a job that required me to handle in-bound calls while sending emails, building and analyzing reports, and monitoring activity on a company website on three monitors. Additionally, I continually follow through with commitments with the utmost responsibility. My fourth skill set is intuitional and innovative skills. I’m continuously developing, testing and…
the DoD. It admitted “there had been noticeable progress within the Department toward explicit embrace of stability operations as a core activity.” The bandwagoning to classify military activities seeking to achieve stability as “Stability Operations” is misguided. It creates confusing policy lines and organizational boundaries. Nearly any military activity has a direct or indirect connection to achieving stability somewhere on the globe. Grouping or labeling these as “Stability…
using a variety of media. THINKSPACE also provides teachers with an analytics tool that allows them to monitor individual student progress through tasks with time-stamped learning moments, without requiring the entire class to progress through the activity at the same pace. As a consequence, student behavioural and cognitive engagement are enhanced as a result of their active engagement with THINKSPACE’s interactive features and emphasis on self-regulation and personalized pacing.…
teacher is doing those circle time activities. I am not totally sure what to make of that observation. I hope it is a consistent thing she does with the children even when we are not there. There was a really great circle time activity this week. The theme was pirates that day. There was a great pirate book about letters the teacher read with the kids. After that, she had a large bucket of sand for the kids to dig in and find “buried treasure.” This was an inside activity, which I thought was…
Language theories influence classroom practice? Dogme and Emergent Language theories both challenge the traditional teaching methods. A Dogme theory approaches teaching from a ‘materials light’ perspective, with very little to none of the classroom activities coming from a textbook or syllabus (Boyadzhieva, 2014, p. 783). The idea is to get the students’ to become autonomous learners and for them to come to the classroom with their own set of objectives. All tasks are interactional and…
