Coming into this course I was definitely very nervous. I knew very little about technology and how to use it in the classroom and science is not my favorite subject. The first couple of weeks I felt very overwhelmed and was terrified about teaching my first full class lesson. I had no idea how I was going to keep the attention of a whole class for an entire period. Overall, I was very scared and hesitant to begin my journey.
Although I felt lost my first couple of weeks, my group was amazing with keeping me on track. They guided me through the entire lesson making process and I can not thank them enough for that. This class' fieldwork helped more than any other class I have taken before. It was the first time that I experienced full class instruction. Although I was nervous I was able to see first hand what being a real teacher was going to be like. I really enjoyed getting up in front of the class and this experience really showed me that I am making the right decision in becoming a teacher.
This class also helped me to improve my skills in technology. Prior to this class, I knew very little about Google Docs or Google Drive. I remember not even knowing how to insert a link on the first day of classes. I have been exposed to so many amazing technological tools that I will definitely try and use in my future classroom. Tools such as Hyperdoc, Adobe Spark, Voki, and many more make classroom learning much more engaging.
Although I was very nervous about the class, in the end, I feel like I gained many life long skills. I have improved as a teacher candidate, and now am even more excited to be able to apply these skills in my own classroom!
