Some positive thinking I will take away from today's class is that we should focus on what we can change as opposed to what we cannot (school/government regulated aspects). I believe that a good way to ensure our assessments are authentic is to picture our students attempting to complete them. As we teach, we get to know our students. If we cannot imagine them successfully/properly completing an assessment, then it is probably not authentic/accurate. It is good to learn the the Common Core State Standards address technology, but I also wonder if they address Special Needs students and whether we will learn about this in the weeks to come or in other courses. Theories are used to predict and I believe they keep us on task. If we are looking toward the future and how the information we teach will impact our students and the future of the world, then we will be sure to teach it in a more effective manner. I am still a little perplexed as to whether rubrics are a good or bad element when it comes to group projects. Should we use rubrics? I was typically given one along with projects when I was in school. Is the difference in how we write them? It is interesting to learn about the various learning theories in different classes. As an undergrad, I majored in Childhood Education with a concentration in Psychology. Therefore, I learned about them over and over. However, without that repetition, I am sure I would not remember anything about them at all!
Topic: Food, is that too broad?
