Hello!
I've had so many firsts in these last two weeks, why not add writing a blog?!
So, as many of you know, I've just started my first full week of classes in the Faculty of Education. Pretty exciting stuff! But seriously, the week has felt a bit overwhelming: things have been moving at a quite quick pace because that is the nature of the faculty. PLUS, prof's keep saying, "you'll need to know these things in five weeks when you're in front of a classroom". Which is terrifying, because that means that in five extremely short weeks, I'll be out student teaching. I'm just hoping, at this point, that I'll get enough planning in place before then to make it happen!
In conjunction to all the "five week" talk, we've had quite a lot of instruction regarding new technologies that we should be incorporating into our lessons. It's exciting to know that there are not only new theories and philosophies regarding education, but there are also a myriad of technological tools that I need to start incorporating into my lesson plans. There's lots to learn, but I'm hopeful that things will fall into place. All in time, I'm sure.
You said it well - all in time - becoming a great teacher is a life-long journey, but an awesome one :)
