Classroom Assessment

I think that this course has been very good at covering topics and making them relate-able to the service learning.  It has been nice to see how the things that we are learning in class relate to the actual classroom.  It is one thing to learn about it, but it is a total different thing to experience it.  I like to go to the classroom with the understanding of why certain things are done the way that they are.  It has been a complete different experience than the ones that I have had in the classroom when I have gone in the past to help in my children's classes.

The blogging has been helpful in making me think about the connections that I am making in the classroom.  By giving us prompts, it has force me to actually think about what I have observed in the classroom.  I think that the blog posts became easier toward the end of the semester because I was prepared to be looking for things in the classroom.
