Hello everyone, I am embarrassed to say that I have never actually kept a blog before beginning the PME program, however I have been chronicling my journey through this digital portfolio. I have made my students keep blogs throughout the semester for different projects (Media Arts, Art Critiques, Comm Tech etc.) I think blogs are a fantastic way to be reflective, to log information, and organize your thoughts.
Throughout this course, I would like to specifically explore and reflect on effective use of media in the classroom. I have deep love for media, especially film, and in a society, that increasingly media base I think as teachers it’s important to embrace media and be able to use it effectively in the classroom and not just as a time filler (we’ve all been there).
I hope to better understand how to better integrate media, to make my lessons more innovating and engaging for my students through my reflective process throughout the course.
