Hmmm..... Let me think about the 7 1/2 habits for a minute. Self-assessment is not always an easy task. The 7 1/2 habits seem to be fairly easy task to accomplish. Whenever I begin a major project the natural thing for me to do is set a goal. I always take responsibility for my learning (since I am the one responsible for learning) and view problems as new challenges. However, I find myself having to work harder to achieve adequate confidence and I never take enough time to play. Therefore, my final goal is to work on my confidence level and take time out to play.
So far I am off to a good start, the hardest part of creating the blog was selecting posting and blog names. I am looking forward to creating a toolbox that will enable me to gain a deeper understanding of current and future technology, so I may challenge those I teach and mentor. I feel that students apply themselves when a subject intrigues them and the way to do this is through technology-based learning.
I can feel that you are passion about being a teacher just from the words from your page. Maybe that comes from the calmness you feel around your horses. I totally agree about loving to receive information and I enjoy sharing that information with children. I love to play the "I bet you did not know" game with my daughter and my niece and their little eyes light up. Also, I love for them to come home from school and give me information to subjects I do not remember or did not realize. We may not make a lot of money but don't you love to be around children and having the whole summer vacation off???? Who else can do that???
ReplyDeleteIt is so true that we do not have a passion to teach for the monetary gain. What better reward for what you do then to watch the light go on and their little eyes light up when the really truly get what you are saying and move to the next level of intrigue.
