Field Week 1

This week we worked on our digital story in class and started field.


This week I saw someone do a vidcast where they recorded the text of a book.  Then just turned the pages of the book and did not read the book aloud and they put some musical instrumental music behind it. It made the book more interesting sometimes when people read aloud I lose interest and I love how the technology was used I never thought to do something like that. Well this week has been interesting our original field teacher got sick and will know by next week if she will be getting a long term sub, so Thursday we got moved to another class. Basically this is teaching me to be more flexible in stuff.


The thing I saw with the vidcast will help my future students. I can read the book and make it more interesting then just reading it aloud. On Friday my partner talked to the teacher cause he wasnt feeling well and left. She had me help struggling students with math, unfortunately I have not had math method yet but I did take math 2020 over the summer and I taught the students the long division method for converting fractions to decimals. A lot of the students thanked me for helping them learn a new way to do it. I realized that maybe the way the teacher teaches it doesnt reach everyone although she shows them lots of ways, maybe they just need a little more one on one help. She also had me help grade papers and by looking at the scores she said that this week we are going to do order of operations again and help some of the struggling students. Although I am sorry that our original teacher got sick, it has been fun to work with this teacher.
