Students called out to me and said "teacher!" I am not quite sure why I felt the way I did. I felt like, that wasn't me. Teacher me, I don't think so? I hope over the time I can grow into the realization that I am going to be a teacher. Honestly, academics has been very difficult and I am truly in awe how I have made it this far. This is actually happening! I guess I do not want to get comfortable and think something if it has not happened yet. I believe when I graduate when I have recieved my degree that I can consider myself a teacher. For now, I am a student pursuing education and hopefully can finish this race that is set before me.
I observed my teacher and how she frequently uses the computer and the interactive white board for part of her lessons. She puts music to take the wiggles from the class or help for alphabetical sounds. For individual growth in academics, she has stations. In one station the students use Ipads to play learning games, and in the second station, students listen to a book through the use of a CD player. he By doing stations she is able to work one on one with the students.
It's neat looking back at this now and your final sentence of first paragraph sticks out. I can't think of too many other experiences where we more so are eager to bite off more than we may have envisioned. I wished my students had as much time with electronics yours did, especially since we had so much new experience from IM. It seems like your CT provides the students with exceptional diversity which I'm sure makes for minimalized monotonous periods.
