Personally, I am making changes in my life. The way I think, the way I act and so forth. I learned that it is easy to love those that love you, but difficult to love those that don't or are hard to love. For me, it is easy to love others, but when it rubs wrong against you, then things start changing. How to come around a student that is disrespectful? How to approach a child that gave a statement that was racially inappropriate? Every student has been influenced by either home or the community, and one thing is for sure, one does not want to start a fight between what I personally think is incorrect and what the parents/community thinks?
Also, honestly, I hope next field experience we can work without a partner because I would like to know what would be different and if I can be more comfortable in my classroom/teacher. At the moment I feel like I am on my tippy-toes hoping I am not in the way or being a problem in any way. So perhaps there may be a difference with working with a partner and not. I hope we can get that opportunity.
Talking about technology, since technology is changing and we want to create readiness for our students, I realize there is a lack of technology in schools. Also, there is simply no time.
I agree, in some classrooms there is definitely a lack of technology usage in ways that could benefit the students. In the classroom I am in they have so many opportunities to use technology, but very seldom do.
