Now that you have completed the first day of class, please share with others your impressions. Make sure to include what aspect of the class you are most excited about and which aspect scares you.
I thought today was a good day that left me feeling more at ease about the semester ahead. I found that I recieved a lot of useful information and feeling like I have more of a grasp of what is expected of me.
I feel a lot better about this class, still a little nervous about the midterm and final. I am very excited to see how epals works and getting connected with others around the world. Hopefully I can later use epals in my future classroom
I am looking forward to the epals project because it seems like it will be very interesting to use in the classroom. I am also glad that we get to use our computers to be engaged. It keeps you interested in what you are doing.
We're most excited about the epals project, and most intimidated about all the content we will need to learn and be able to utilize as a teacher. We're excited and a little nervous.
I am most excited to see how the technology aspect of the class works out. It seems really interesting and unique. I think the five day unit plan is a bit scary due to all the work that goes into it and just simply finding a topic and corresponding lessons that work well and that are fun.
I am very excited to have a class that actually incorporates technology in a useful way. Other professors normally do not do this. I am not really scared about anything but the midterm and final exams but I am sure they will be fine!
The class seems like it will really help all of us teach S.S. in the classroom. Not only will we be able to just incorporate S.S. in the classroom, but we are using technology, as well as new and updated/fun/active ways to really engage all students. I think we are all going to leave this class, well informed and comfortable teaching S.S.
I'm most excited about using the different types of technology. I think the ePals project is going to be an exciting project to do. I think I'm most worried about planning a social studies unit, but hopefully with the content I learn from this class I will be able to plan an effective unit.
I feel like we are going to learn a lot this year. I do not have a very good background in social studies and am looking forward to improving this throughout this semester.
I think that this class will be valuable to everyone. Social studies is all around us, so there is something for everyone in this class. We will all take away teaching strategies and learn some ways to make leanring fun for students.
I am mostly excited about unraveling some of my pre-conceptions about social studies overall. Since my experience in school wasn't too flattering in terms of what I learned and the methods that were used to teach social studies, I am anxious to see how Social Studies can be fun again. The most thing that scares me is the Unit. I have ideas for lesson plans in which i am mostly interested but not subjects that bore me.
I am most excited about the unit plan project. Even though it will be a lot of work, it will give me a chance to see what resources are out there and how to use what I already know to create a lesson plan.
The ePALS project looks like it will be fun but it scares me a bit. I think mostly because I've never done anything like that before. Once all of the details are worked in and we're shown how to do it I think it won't be as intimidating.
I'm looking forward to learning different types of activities geared towards teaching social studies. Epal looks interesting. I'm a little intimidated about relying on technology for so much but i'm looking forward to the challenge
I am most excited about the content. I love Social Studies. It is my favorite subject by far! I am least excited about the exams. I am not the best test taker, and I have severe test anxiety.
what i am most excited about is the epal project. I think it will be neat to communicate with another classroom outside of the country. I am most comfortable with learning the content.. i think it will be a good learning experience.
It was a great first class. We really enjoyed the jokes! Excited about the epals project and very thankful to not be buying another text book!!!! See yall Thursday! Erin and Carina

This class is going to be very helpful for me, since social studies is not my strongest subject. I am really excited about the epals project.
ReplyDeleteIm most excited about the epal assignment and most scared about the unit plan project.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to this semester, especially the ePal project. I am a bit nervous about the workload for all of my courses.
