The field experience has provided me with a positive and learning experience. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Fortich, the instructor of a kindergarten class in Meadowlane Elementary School. Ms. Fortich is a caring and dedicated teacher. She puts a lot of thought and effort into making her class interesting and engaging for her students. While observing Ms. Fortich teach I was able to learn how to manage and integrate technology in a classroom. The use of technology is an essential part of Ms. Fortich classroom and her lesson plan. As the year goes by, technology is advancing and kids are becoming more aware of how to use it. Every week Ms. Fortich teaches her students a new letter and the sound of the letter. She uses the internet to

Estes uses various resources and instructional tools. In class reading varies; teacher led, student led and audio CDs. Technology is not only used by the teacher to present content, but students are also taught how to use technology to demonstrate their learning. Encouraging the use of technology does not only allow students to develop their technology literacy skills, but it also allows them to reach a higher level of understanding and demonstrate a level of creativity that is not obtainable by only using paper and pencils.

I started doing my field Experience in Lime Kiln Elementary school where I shadowed Mr. Mikalov, a fifth grade teacher, When I first walked into his classroom it was so colorful and full of artworks, student works and inspirational quotes I felt happy walking into his classroom so I would imagine what a fifth grader would feel like. Mr.Mikalov was very generous in showing me around the classroom where they have their group work, reading area on the rug. He showed me the schedule they follow every week, they do math every day from 12:13 to 12:55 and have lunch every day at 11:26- 12:08 and off course I took a picture of it to know when and what they are doing that time. Mr.Mikalov introduced me to the principal who is very nice and welcomed

When looking at this week’s discussion, it reminded me of a course that I had completed a few MODs back where I was conducting a list of assessments on a kindergarten student at my school. The parent wanted to know the results and compare them to children her son’s age even though I had already explained in full detail that these are only assessments for my course work so that I could get used to assessing students and that they are not used to compare him to other children. I did agree to share the results with her if she wished, nevertheless, after providing my explanation to her again, she did not want to see the results. Anecdotal observations “describe what happened in a factual, objective manner, telling how it happened, when and where

Since some schools are more open to the idea of intertwining technology with learning, some factors should be considered before transitioning. Before integrating technology into curriculums, schools should consider possible addiction that students may acquire, lack of skills and short attention spans that may result from technological exposure, as well as the positive potential that technology has- like easy access. In the end schools should focus on both the negative and the positive side to rule out which one outweighs the other. Being exposed to technology at first can have an exciting effect on the user, overtime this can lead to addiction. Younger generations especially, can easily get captured by the contents on their computer as most of them “prefer picture to words” (Source E).
For our Capstone project we served dinner at the Russell and Ann Gerdin Hope Lodge in Iowa City on Tuesday August 4, 2015. We choose the Hope Lodge after discussing previous capstone class projects and our desire, as nurses, to do a project for adults with illnesses. We focused on adults as that is the population we all work with in our day to day careers. With Matt and Heidi working in the Clinical Cancer Center infusion suite the Hope Lodge dinner seemed an appropriate choice. We all pitched in to serve the residents a home cooked meal.

This audio/visual learning experience helps students become more active in the classroom with a captivating learning experience. Every year, a new group of students is introduced into school districts; these students are part of an ever changing society in which technology is becoming a principal part in everyday life. A group of present and former educators realized that teachers were having difficulty engaging these students into classroom activities as the years went on. As a result, this group decided that this was an ever pressing issue that needed to be taken care of, so they came together to address it. The group decided that they needed to be able to relate to the students, so they could be able to really teach them, and in return, the
