At the completion of this course, I have taken a great deal of ideas away from the book I chose. Nelson's Cultivating Judgement was helpful in offering specific activities and actions to engage students in critical thinking skills. Many of the ideas can be adapted to many areas of study and, to my benefit, this book had college age students as a target population which is my primary audience.
Through discussion and reviewing the ideas of my peers I have gained ideas to include more technology resources in my classroom. It is my goal that I will include one or more of these ideas in each project I assign as I feel that they are beneficial.
The course material revealed a great deal of resources and a variety of perspectives to engage students in learning. I enjoyed the activity that partnered with other educators to benefit from their skill set to enhance the learning in my classroom. I plan to spend more time looking around my school and community for educators who may want to swap as guest speakers or co-teach selected unit plans.
Overall, I enjoyed the freedom this course offered to explore areas of interest specific to my setting. The ability to select a text from a list of choices was of huge benefit to me. I will take many of the ideas and concepts I learned in this course into my classroom.
