Week three

We are well into week three and getting closer to student teaching. I am getting nervous about being in the classroom because we don't have much information to go on. However from our ict class we have a fare about of tools now that we can use in the classroom. The major one that I am working on right now is creating a website that I can use in class. I did talk about this last week but the new part I added to my website is from Symbaloo. Symbaloo allows me to group all my website links into a neat group of tiles. Which will really help to organize my link page on my website.

Another week in...

Well now its a week and half into my first year of Education. I would have to say it has been a lot of fun, however it also has been very difficult. The hardest part about education is time management. I work, go to school and have a family it is not always the easiest to balance. Saying that I am tired but I am, right now, somehow managing.

I am really enjoy my ICT Class I never really sat down and thought how technology can be used in the classroom. But now I have and I am really excited about all the possibilities. For example, the one thing I probably will do for my classes, is set up a web page were children can send their homework to instead of handing in a hard copies. As well as have the homework and test dates up on the site so parents can see what there child has to have done for the next day. I probably will put notes up on the website to, so if a child is struggling they can look at examples online as well as parents can have an idea what is being done in class.

First week back to school

So I am now halfway through my first week of school, and I have been asked to create a blog. So I thought I would write about my experiences being in the Education Department at Brandon University. For Those who are reading this if any, my name is Robbie, I am married, living in Brandon and like I said attending Brandon University to become a teacher. I hold a Bachelors in Science with a Math major and a dual Minor in history and psychology. But that is enough about who I am this blog is about what I have experienced. To say the least these first two days are off to a rocky start. I am attempting to get myself organized and failing miserably at. I have already managed to forget to do some of my homework. Which was a big oops but managed to recover because it was short I was able to quickly get it done before classes start. I really hope this does not happen again because I really can't stand being unorganized and forgetting to do something. On the positive not I have met some really amazing people, who are a little crazy like me. Which honestly I think is a trademark of any teacher. To end off because I really should be going to bed, I would have to say I am looking forward to the challenges ahead, however part of me is wondering what I have gotten myself into and if I will be able to become the teacher I want to be. But I guess only time will tell. And to all those out there that are looking at this and picking out all my spelling and grammar errors. I apologize I am a math major for a reason.
