This is my first pedagogy blog and I feel very happy writing about my life during my Science Methods' class lecture. I'm going to try to be positive and enjoy what I have seen and heard.
Before our class began, Dr. Prague gave a fascinating presentation on Livetext. She covered such items as the Portfolio from the School of Education and how to use specific features on Livetext. I've learned to enjoy Livetext. It's had a fecund effect on me (that's from Professor Albert Lenel's Ethic's class.)
Talking about Critical Review and Peer Review was something I was looking forward to do, so I was happy we discussed some dimensions of them like deadlines, details and procedures. Professor Morales did something very helpful: she asked us to decide, as a class, what our deadlines should be for the week. We chose Saturdays and Mondays. This is an attempt: our goal is to do our work as soon as possible so our assigned peer can review it on time. I think we did a good job of selecting the dates.
Then, Professor Marlene Morales sent us to the computers to register, here, on Blogger.com. I get a little nervous because I do best with direct instruction which means you get a list of procedures, things are written on the board, there's constant feedback and the instructor is on you until you get an A. Dr. Victor Okafor, my Chemistry professor, has always been that way with me and that's probably why I chose to teach Chemistry.
Roxanne del Rio came to class. I had to hold back from applauding because it would have not been appropriate. I wasn't expecting her because she's in her internship. Last semester, Roxy was an excellent chemistry partner. She was very helpful and I tried to give as much as she gave me, but it was impossible. I was very lucky to have worked with her.
John Dewey was mentioned in class today. His saying on reflection is our muse and initiative for this reflection. I choose Breadth of Pedagogy as my blog title in honor of Professor Marlene Morales. I had never used the word "breadth" until I came to one of her classes. The saw the word everywhere: I loved it! etymology has always been a passion of mine and pedagogical terms are very different from business or computer science jargon. We work with people not with things in education so we need words that have emotion and feeling. I think Professor Marlene Morales brings the kind of innovation we need in order to compete with other Universities and Colleges. She's very young, but I think she's doing a great job of gaining the experience of an effective professor.
Everyone in class was very helpful. Josh always helps me stay clear on the task. Antoine gave me a good suggestion on the field experience documents. I know I can count on Alejandro. Skarlett is a very nice person and I can always call her and get information on assignments. Monica is wonderful: I've always gotten quick, logical perspectives with Monica, when we talk. I feel very happy with my Friday evening class and I aim at enjoying it.
I'd like to send out a special thanks to my cousin Jennifer M. Low. With her advice, I have found a lot of peace during this semester. I love you, Jennifer!
