I'm here sitting in my EdTech class and we are talking about the projects that we have left!  We have to do this masterpiece project as a whole class.  WE came up with this idea and Dr. Heigle agreed to let us do it.  We are going to make one big project that is broken down into different sub-groups and each sub-group has a topic that ties into a theme.  So, that being said, it seems like it is going to be very interesting to see how we can work together as a team to come up with something fresh and new!

Mondays are always the worst for me... I have 9 hours of class, it is like torture! haha But once I get through today, I just have one class on tuesday and then I am homeward bound, THANK GOD.  I cannot wait to see my parents and family for Thanksgiving!


Hope you have a great Monday everyone!

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Ever since my birthday I have not been on here posting so I will do my best to catch everyone up.  Nothing too exciting has happened in my life.  At this point I feel like I am just going through the motions with work and school.  I go to class, do homework and go to work, it is like a never ending cycle!

Anyways, Thanksgiving is this week and I am beyond excited for a nice little break from school!  It also means that the semester is quickly coming to an end!  Words cannot explain how excited I am for Christmas break!  AHHHHH!

I taught my first lesson last week at Kilbourne Middle School.  It went really well, the kids seemed to enjoy themselves and I managed the classroom well.  My lesson was on Greek Philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle.  Teaching was easy, it was the planning process that seemed to take a lot of my time.  I incorporated technology into my lesson by using the smartboard!  I do love writing on the smartboard and presenting documents on it as well, it is a great tool for teachers to use.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Hellllo :) 

I hope everyone had a good weekend!  Monday is almost here :( I am not ready for the week to start because of the mass amounts of homework that I have!  I have three projects that I have to complete this week.  They aren't all due until next week, however this weekend is my 21st Birthday so lets just say I will be participating in some festivities!  

The first project I have is this "This We Believe" project for my middle school methods class.  I have to survey the middle school I am in and make sure that they meet the 16 characteristics of a good middle school!  It should not be too hard because the middle school I am in is great!  

The second project is what I am worried about.  It is the YAAP project.  It has three parts and is much more extensive.  It involves getting to know the kids and the issues that they are going through.  So it takes a little more time!  

Overall though I am looking forward to getting my work done and then having some fun this weekend for my birthday!!! 

Have a good week everyone!

Ryan :)
