After watching the videos and reading the synopsis of "The Adventures of Jasper Woodbury" I am extremely excited about this curriculum and curriculum that is similar to this. This type of instruction allows for endless possibilities to enhance and engage student learning. This type of video-based instruction represents the new age of technology. It allows teachers to break away from the traditional chalkboard or smartboard lessons. I feel as though it is very important for schools to incorporate as much differentiated instruction as possible. Each student has a unique learning style and ways in which he or she learns best. Differentiated instruction such as these video-based lessons help to meet the educational needs of several students who…
I think the video would enhanve my learning experience the most because I believe visual explanations have the most impact on my learning abilities.…
Cheryl Strayed, one of the few women to hike the Pacific Crest Trail and leave her past behind to find a new. Which is what the book “Wild” is about, with the death of her mother and family slowly breaking away, she was left with no other choice but to leave it behind and begin a journey. A journey that would be long, tedious and demanding, all for the sake of finding the true meaning of life, something that would help her reconcile with people who she had drifted apart from. Following her mistakes, achievements, interaction and ideology, everything that led up to the conclusion of her journey. Something that “Into the Wild” can relate to, with the survival and story of Christopher McCandless.…
after watching the video of Rob McClendon, I understood how technology has made life very easy for individuals. He introduces the use of a saw blade that carries three volt of electricity, and acts like touch lamp. In order to turn on the saw blade, one must be able to touch it and it will come on. The blade is very fast and stops faster than an air bag within five milliseconds. The biggest concern that professors like Edgar Maxwell worries about is the hands of student getting hurt base on experience. Although the blade is expensive, from about $1,800 to $6,000, what matters most is how we use it, and prevent ourselves from a cut…
Procedure 1. Show several examples of Aboriginal art. Explain to the children how the artists use the 9 lines in their art - long, short, curved, straight, thick, thin, loop, zigzag and dot. 2. Use a scrap piece of paper and have the children trace their hand and cut these out. Tape the hand from the back, using a "doughnut", to a piece of construction paper. 3. Using a squirt bottle, water down tempera paint, about 2 parts paint to 1 part water. Squirt lightly around the hand. Let dry thoroughly. 4. Remove the hand. Using construction paper crayons, let children decorate their hand stencils with Aboriginal designs.…
It's about twelve o'clock at night and I'm just now getting ready to go to sleep. As I lie down on the bed I feel a sudden urge to grab my phone and watch a couple of videos before I fall asleep. I open up the YouTube app and begin scrolling through numerous videos. Approaching the bottom of my suggested videos, I see a certain video that caught my eye. The video said how a young boy would be able to live out his dream of being a major league baseball player for his favorite team. Intrigued by the caption, I clicked on the video. The story was about a young boy named Kyle who suffered from a illness called SMA (Spinal muscular atrophy). Kyle and his sister were both born with this disease and most children with SMA dont make it past the age of two. The video explained how Kyle was a huge Arizona Diamondbacks fan, and that his one wish was to meet and play for the Diamondbacks. Eventually his wish was granted by an organization by the name of Make-A-Wish foundation. The foundation was able to contact the MLB and arrange the wish with the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. Then Kyle finally got to live out his dream and meet his favorite players and eventually sign a contract with the Diamondbacks. As I saw Kyle having the time of his life and living…
The day was sunny and bright as I entered the iron arch. Rocky River Ranch it read. Little did I know that after walking through that arch my life would never be the same again. I was only 12 years old and I thought I was simply going to another summer camp. Rocky River Ranch is a little slice of heaven in the middle of the hill country in Wimberley, TX. I have grown up here and made lifelong friends. Through this all-girls camp I’ve also learned independence and gained a deeper appreciation for friendship and sisterhood. As an only child, the feeling of camaraderie with others in a familial sense is not one that I felt. While I had fellow female cousins, I never had true sisters. Rocky River Ranch is a special place where I learned the importance…
To succeed in my task, I used my existing knowledge of English grammar, syntax and vocabulary to explain a subject trough a video. My knowledge of English allowed me to make sure that there were very few mistakes in my video so the target audience (future secondary 5 students) would be able to understand the relayed information. I used my knowledge gained in Art class about colours and what attracts the eye to make my video as visually interesting as possible. I also used what I learned in last year’s interdisciplinary project on WWII to better understand the context in which the program. What I knew of the economic crisis of 1929, WWI and WWII, learned in secondary 4 history class, also helped me understand the political, social and economical…
[The first video clip and second video clip are from lesson plan 3 in the learning segment. Clip 1 is a group activity where we are introducing and reviewing comprehension skills with a video. This clip shows students engaging and participating in answering the questions. Clip 1 transitions from the whole class to a small group where we are going begin sentence starters on the story “Get the Egg!” In clip 2, the video is on the two focus children. Out of the two focus children the boy is non-verbal and a struggling reader and the girl has a 504 medical. The activities for the focus children are modified to their ability to understand and do the activity to their…

As a home educator I’ll be using variety of developmentally appropriate learning experiences and teaching strategies for children to explore music, movement and the visual arts, and to develop and express their individual creative abilities. Encourages parents to enter children’s dramatic play, to extend and to sustain socio-dramatic role play, recognizes and helps parents understand that the process of creating is as important as the product, to encourages parents to accept and praise children’s creative expressions and ideas and to display their work respectfully, to include children in music, dance, celebrations and other expressive cultural activities and reinforces new ideas and creative expression from parents.…
A. Problem-solving: Math, episode 1, (Discovery Education, n.d.) is a lesson plan that helps students understand the importance of numbers. In this lesson the objectives are to show the students the importance of numbers in math, and show examples of how they are used in everyday life. The students start out by watching the video, Problem-solving: Math, episode 1, and then talking about all of the numbers that they see in the classroom, such as the numbers on a clock or how many paint brushes or windows there are. The students are then asked to imagine a world without numbers and give ideas of how things would be different. They are then asked to write down examples of how they have used numbers, such as dividing candy among friends, being first in line, or being measured at the doctor. They are then asked to share these examples with the class and post them as a reminder of the importance of numbers in their everyday lives.…
In the first video the teacher was able to show this, similar to criterion 1, through her activity. She was able to allow the students to use open-ended questions to help the students understand the content. The teacher understand that not every student visualizes the problem the same way. In the video she used dots on a paper which had two different sides on the paper with different amounts of dots. Using those dots she would ask the students “how do you see the dots on this paper.” The students would say different answers for example, they would count one side and the other side then add them together, some would add all of them together at once, and others would count all the dots individually and add those induvial dots to make a whole. This gives all students a better way to understand counting and adding and making sense of it in their own way. Which match with the Common Core Standards in Kindergarten which is, CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4 Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. Here she is delivering her instruction to fit all students’ needs and a way that all students can achieve that standard and goal. In another video “Teaching Kids, Not Just Math.” A teacher introduces his thought process behind teaching as a whole. In this video he covers that, as a teacher you must engage the students in the subject matter and make the course interesting. He also discusses making the content interesting using real life sceneries and how those subject matters affect our communities. Which all of these fit with a variety of the mathematical Common Core…
