I have to admit, while I was excited about this course, I had no idea I would get so much out of it. The tools I've learned and the information I've absorbed in the last five weeks have been and will continue to be invaluable for my growth as a teacher, in turn creating a far better experience for my students.
The assignments we were given in this course were those which I can apply to my own classes. They were the type of assignments that forced the student to explore and discover skills he or she perhaps otherwise never would have. This left a true sense of ownership of the learning experience on the part of the student.
I think it is this 'student- centered' learning approach that I will be able to most benefit from. I've always said that my goal was to have as little as possible teacher talking time and more student interaction time. I believe putting into practice what I've learned will help me take that concept and make it a reality in my own classes.
Thank you Brodie! Your evaluation of the course tells me that I hit the mark I was shooting for.
