What I will take away from this course.

I have really enjoyed my time and work in this course.  So many times I have taken classes for my masters and have found the class to be useless.  I am kind of sad that this class is over.  With this class I have learned a great deal and recognized a lot of things I would like to do better in my classroom to take my teaching to the next level.  I absolutely love that we got to pick our own text and apply it to ours and other's blog posts.  The book that I chose, 40 Active Learning Strategies for the Inclusive Classroom  is a great resource that I definitely plan on using in my classroom next year.  I have also enjoyed reading the blogs of my fellow classmates and have learned a great deal from them.

I feel that I provide an engaging classroom already, however the one thing that I learned from this class is taking my teaching beyond the classroom.  If I am teaching something get into contact with a specialist from that area and either bring them into the classroom or work with them to further enhance my lessons.  This was also my first experience creating a blog and can't wait to create one that my parents and students can view from their home next year.
