4. Learning Enviornment

Rationale:

Artifact Description:

For one of my Education courses, Technology in Education, I was recquired to create a mock google classroom. In my classroom I included: Music class room expectations, a teacher introduction, expectations and goals, a daily discussion question, and assignments. This course taught me how to use google classroom, how to grade and communicate with students (fellow classmates were my students). It also taught me how to use various teaching sources and link them to the page for students to have access.

Standard Connection and Reflection:

My google classroom was created in order to provide an online learning environment. It connects to the standards because it provides active engagement and provides positive and fun social interaction with myself and the students. It gives students and parents the ability to get an idea of how I conduct my classroom. By creating this website, it allowed me to envision how my class can be. Diving into the details of procedures, expectations, instructional styles and strategies helped me imagine how my class will be run and what type of classroom environment I would like to strive for.Overall it got me thinking about what type of classroom environment I would like to create and the allowed me to become familiar with a teacher platform used in various schools. In my second placcement, I was able to experience more with the canvas platform that they used.

Rationale:

Artifact Description:

For one of my Teaching Music Methods course, I created a mock Choral Day in which students were able to interact with the various subjects and experiences that they will learn if they participate and join the Choir. Students will get to speak with former and currect choirs students, join the choir to sing and practice a song and perform. Students on choir will also perform for the students and parents. Teacher will provide information about the choir and the benefits of the students joining the choir.

Standard Connection and Reflection:

This standard shows an form of music that is different than the music classroom to provide a different learning enviornment in which students learn solfege, how to use their voices and perform.
