Last class 510

When I began this masters program I was a little worried about a few things, the time commitment, amount of work, and if it would be applicable to my Third Grade classroom. Well, it turns out that the time commitment isn't too bad, the work load is manageable and everything that I have learned about so far could be used in my classroom. What I find most interesting is being able to go back to school and share the information that I have learned with my class as well as the teachers in my school. I may not be able to use Google Docs, Spreadsheet, or Presentation with my class, but I can use it as a tool to organize my information, write letters to parents, and make a presentation for a lesson for my class. I also found all of the web sites shared were very helpful. If anything they give you ideas that you can adapt and use in your class.
The group work that was also completed was very helpful. Even though I am in a group with all high school teachers, our diverse backgrounds make our conversations rich and informative. It is amazing to me how much we have learned from each other and helped each other with things that we may not understand. We have even gotten to the point that we can complete each other's sentences and thoughts. I can only imagine where the rest of the classes are going to take us because I already feel like I have gone so far!
