An overview of Fall 2013

As I look back at the fall semester 2013, I felt that I learned so much in how to become a teacher. At first it was a shocker to see the different side of the classroom because I was so used to being the student on one side of the classroom. To see it from where the teacher stands and walks around is quite interesting. The teacher is the rock. They create the motion to inspire and motivate the students. There is indeed some aspects that I would not want to do in the classroom but I will find ways to enhance the classroom experience. Education must be hands on like what John Dewey said. The teacher I observed showed me all the various handouts and paperwork to use for the classroom. It covered her entire wall. It is like the book collection I have in my room but longer and bigger. So I have other references to utilize when it comes to my turn to teach. She even told me that majority of work can be accessed online. However, not everything will be online. 

Besides those concepts within the classroom, I felt that I learned a little bit about myself. It was a reality that set in. Is this what I really want to go to do for the rest of my life? I realized there are challenges and paperwork to keep but I feel that I ready to take that step. We will see what happens in the spring!
