Week 9 Reflections

The best part of this week was submitting the final project. It was fun doing the project, but relieving to get it done as well!  I learned a lot about myself while making the project; it was a good project-based learning experience.  I think that my project will produce a fine longitudinal study that may turn into a research piece later when I have some data on the effectiveness of my preventative solutions.  My goal is to see if the teachers in my program can incorporate some of my strategies for preventing plagiarism into their classes and eventually change the mindset of our students towards citation and plagiarism.

In addition, we discussed learner strategies this week in our Nicenet postings. It was interesting to think of different activities to address the needs of different learning styles.  I also had fun learning about my own style of learning. I am an interpersonal learner, which is very true, and the career that I chose as a teacher suits my learning style well.

Next week is the last week of the lesson, so I feel sad to say goodbye to our E-teacher friends!  It has been such a pleasure working with you all, and I hope that we can stay in touch.  I will keep this blog going and hopefully use it to push myself to do new things in the classroom.  Good luck, Everyone, as we wind down our studies.
