Reflective Learning Blog #4

As my last sophomore semester at UAB comes to a close I must take the time to look back and realize just how much I have learned. Between my three classes I have taken this semester I must say that I have taken so much away than just basic textbook knowledge but also life lessons that I more than look forward to applying in my future classroom. One of these is the use of technology that I gained from my EDT 300 class. Not only have I learned basic and not so basic knowledge of technology, but also experience in presentation, which can only be gained from experience. The experience of completing work and then having to present it made me strive to make my work the best it could be the first time. The knowledge of knowing that someone is gong to se and hopefully be getting something from my work is very empowering. It empowers me because I know how much I have gotten from my classmates presentations. My classmates have pretend things that I would have never thought of but are now in my arsenal of teaching weapons. But, is that not what teaching is all about? Continuous knowledge? I personally think so. If there is one and only one thing that I take away form my time at UAB is that learning is continuous and that if I want to be good, productive teacher then I must never stop learning or ever think that I am done learning.
