Second Update on Goals

16 Comments

Read Now
 
Picture
Well, three weeks have passed since I set my goals.   How are you progressing toward your goals?  I made two goals for summer school.  First, I wanted my students to increase their understanding of how technology could help them learn on their own and how technology could help them create products which will grab other people's attention.  Secondly, I want to learn from my students what best meets their needs.  How am I doing?

The first goal is still going well.  The students are well into their projects.  Some of them have already finished one and are working on another.  Many students have decided to make a living book.  Showing the students and example really helped them to understand the final product.  When I teach this during the regular school year I will take a lot more time to build up to this.  I will be writing the unit outline in more detail in the next few days.   Only two students have decided to complete the artist project. The project handout has helped greatly.  This guides the students to fill in the necessary information on their artist.  The first goal is going well.

The second goal is a little more difficult to quantify.  I am spending more time roaming the room checking on students.  I think the students need more detailed information so I will make a more detailed project description for each one.  I will continue to create any handouts, forms or graphic organizers that will help guide the students.  I will remember that there are a lot of graphic organizers out there already that I can use.

I found a great article on goals.  Take a look!  Click here.

Well...
My first goal went fine. Ryan and I made two robots, though programming the second robot was pretty hard, because our computer was acting strangely.
My second goal was to type faster, but I think I didn't improve much. But my mom said I typed faster than I did before.

My actual two goals were to be a better writer and type correctly. But I want to change my writing one, to try and listen to the teacher in my writing class because its really boring. I'm getting better at my typing class though, I think :] .....

My goals were to produce many products of arts and crafts and learn facts throughout the summer.

Those goals right now are iffy. I AM collecting materials for arts and crafts projects for my best friends. I just started measuring the length of the bead curtain to even out the uneven lengths of beads. So far, I haven't finished anything. The facts have been learned daily, from the questions on Ask.com to brainpop to the stock to music to news to colourloving communications.

Right now I've been focusing on more physical, exercise goals. Recently, I submitted a dance video to Disney Channel's Shake It Up Dance off. It had me popping, whacking, breakdancing, and doing hip hop. I've also been starting again to catch up and exercise on Wii Fit. Not only that, I just created a Youtube account where I plan to post in enjoyable yet educational videos for people to look at.

My first goal is to pass both computer class and basketball camp. Well I finished basketball camp and I'm still in computer class and it's going very well.
My 2nd goal is to complete my project(s) and my power point is going well. I still need to finish it though.
