Week 15. ALREADY??

Wow. I cannot believe it is already the end of another semester! I am getting closer and closer to student teaching and I feel more and more ready! I'm so glad that Kent State incorporated our Multi-Modal Literacies class to the catalog year. I think we would have missed out on a lot of valuable information if this change didn't take place.
I've come to the realization that the classroom is evolving. Whether it be our technology, our classroom activities, or our wrinkles, as a teacher, we gotta be ready to be on our feet. We have to stay up to date with the times and connect with our future students.
In my experience with Dr. Kist, I've acquired so much information and outlooks on my perspective classroom that will definitely assist me in maintaining a sense of professionalism, modernism, and optimism with my future staff and students. I look so forward to being that teacher that is approachable, knowledgeable, and committed to granting all students to an equal education.
We've come so far in class. From blogs, to wikis, to graphic novels, to classroom games, I've got a handful of things that can be applied to my English classroom! Thank you Dr. Kist for an excellent start to an excellent journey!

  1. It was a great class that introduced me to new teaching ideas of which I never thought. I definitely plan to incorporate what I've learned in this class to my future classroom someday!

  2. I definitely agree! I'm really glad we took this class because I was so closeminded about all of these ideas that I didn't even know much about, until I saw how effectively they can be used in the classroom.
