It is hard to reflect on the Intro to
Education without reflecting on my semester as a whole. Several classes have been intertwined for me
and I'm not sure which class taught me which thing! But it has been a good semester for me
professionally as I have faced the challenges of assignment after assignment
that forced me to work with technology as never before in becoming familiar
with a few of the internet applications that are available for education. I'm sure I have just seen a very few compared
to the many, many applications available.
But I am also sure that my instructors have guided me into finding some
of the better programs available.
My Service Learning experiences were
somewhat of a disappointment to me in that it seemed very difficult to get them
scheduled with the schools and teachers near me. I learned most about classroom management
from spending time in the classrooms but I felt like ten hours of special ed
and ten hours of regular ed. were not enough.
There were so many interruptions to classroom schedules that it made me
wonder how teachers ever get the subjects taught!
In spite of the challenges, this is a
semester that I'm glad I took at UVU. I
had considered switching to Western Governor's University in January and I am
glad I did not. However, I feel now that
this is what I should do. Through
Western Governor's University I can go straight to a Master's Degree and I can
be flexible in my physical location while completing the coursework.
Yes, teaching is what I want to do! I am not totally sure if I want elementary or
special education but I know I want to be in the teaching field!
Thank you Dr. Sue Womack, Pam Turley, Dr. Wangsgard, Dr. Damion Smith, Brandon Condie, and Mrs. Donna Hall--my instructors this semester!
