Reflections 2 Post

Of the tools that we have used thus far, I think the one I am most likely to use is the video resource access. I found myself turning to it, in the Dimensions of Learning class that I just completed, as a more interesting way to present an idea. We presented on how to teach students how to construct support for your argument. One of the things that popped into my head was the Argument sketch from Monty Python (I know this probably dates me and definitely tells something about my sense of humor. It was relatively easy from this class and the knowledge of my partner to embed the link into out power point presentation and include part of the video to engage the class and helpful help them remember the concept as a tool in the classroom.

Additionally, am going to attempt to work with a couple of people to create social skills lessons done by the kids at school to teach other kids social skills. I hope to have a few up by the end of the year. Once we do the first one, I think the pothers will be that much easier to complete.

If anyone has other ideas or would like to help let me know.

Oh, my gosh! Someone else who knows about and "appreciates" Monty Python! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I'm thrilled that you were able to use the video resources right away in something that was meaningful for you.
