A Time for Reflection #3

Upon completion of this rigorous class, I feel relieved as well as invigorated to bring new ideas to the classroom. My goals for the advanced students are to have bi-monthly podcasts that they will be required to listen and respond to on a classroom blog. This will be adjusted for my Regents classes’ possible changes in frequency, podcast choice, and length of cast. One of my main goals and themes throughout this school year is to inspire students to think, question, and risk sharing their ideas while avoiding submitting to peer conventions. Each day lessons have been attached to the importance of thinking, risk, and building a trusting classroom community. My technical plans include integrating a classroom blog in response to deepening understanding of key concept and topic areas of our study and podcast feedback. .
