I found the tshirt project again a good idea to get to know one another. This is a way for us to encourage one another, and for us to improve for when we are actually teaching our own class. This was a way for us to self reflect on what is important to us and what makes us anxious about teaching. Some students said it was difficult finding the right picture to show what they wanted to convey to the rest of the class. I know alot of us were nervous, but we can support one another . We can become a better presenter with practice.
We worked on our objectives in our group in class. I realized after speaking to Dr. Smirnova that that we should avoid using % with accuracy as a was to measure performance. How can you measure performance by using this? The objective should be so clear that the teacher can teach it in class. A good example is Given 10 pictures of sea animals the student will label 4 our of 5 correct.
I listened to other students objectives and it cleared up some questions I had.
I know the tshirt project is a good way to get to know our students and them us. I might also use all about me as another way to know my student's a little better. I found the t shirt made me think about what I wanted to put in the areas to answer the questions with out using words. When you have to express a point in ways other then using words it makes it a little harder. I could not find the pictures I wanted to use, but found some to express my point. I liked other tshirts and it gave me a better insight into their experiences, and fears. It is important as a future teacher to know my students.
