Twitter chat was frustrating for me. This was me first time using it. If I hit a wrong key things would go CRAZY. I was not able to see my posts on the feed. The only place I could see them was on my home page, I enjoyed reading the comments of my fellow classmates. I think twitter is a neat way to communicate and discuss topics. I think this would be a good tool for the upper grades, not so much for the younger grades. Technology is all around us and we need to use it WITHIN reason.
I learned that students need to feel safe in their learning environment. As a teacher I can adapt to the students specific needs to help them succeed. In a positive classroom environment there will be respect between the students and the teacher. Respecting one another creates positve relationships and trust.
I can take these ideas and apply them to my personal life. I have been making a positive environment for my children for the past 14 months. It is amazing to see the difference in attitude and willingness from my children. I can see the respect they give each other and me as their mother. I cannot wait from my journey to unravel and see where it takes me. I especially cannot wait to start teaching my future students.
