A. As you reflect upon the past 9 weeks, what about yourself were you most aware of as a learner?
Over the course of this class, I have come to realize, I am a bigger procrastinator than I realized. I enjoyed watching the Edpuzzle videos and learning about the 21 Century Learning Competencies. I have lost my organizational skills when it comes to deadlines and completing the work on time.
B. What insights about student learning have you gained as a result of implementing the 21st Century Learning Competencies?
I have learned that my students are SO ADAPT at using technology. They love it and they love to help each other with it. I hope that I continue to use technology for the construction of knowledge, not just to have it and say I am using it. The students enjoyed using Edpuzzle and Nearpod because they could re-watch the videos and work at their own pace. Even though all the students were working on the same videos, with the same questions, they were more engaged with the lesson than at other times.
C. As you think about your future instruction, how might the 21st Century Learning Competencies be used as a guide to your teaching practices?
I did not get to the top level of each competency during the course of this class, but I hope that as the school year continues, I continue to implement the use of technology so students can to construct knowledge and collaborate on interdisciplinary projects. I think the 21st Century Learning Competencies will be a reminder of the high standards I should be holding my students to. If I plan a lesson to reach the top level of the competency, they will rise to expectation and do the work. I do not think I will be trying to hit all the competencies in one lesson as that just isn't realistic right now, but I will try to hit two in one lesson. Some lessons will be better suited
