PowerPoint, Works Consulted, Coordinator Meeting, Media Associates Unite

First thing in the morning, I arrived and prepared some work for the meeting with Internship Coodinator and Professor, Bill Derry. I spoke with the Media Specialists to inform them again of his coming.

I observed Karen's final PowerPoint class. During this class, she quickly reviewed what was accomplished during my lesson. She also showed the students how to cite a picture from the web over WorksConsulted.net. At the end of the class, Karen played the DVD that I brought as a supplement to my lesson which I did not have enough time to play since we accomplished so much. The students had a taste of it on Wenesday with me and were much more receptive to it once they had a second exposure on Friday.

I thought it was good since it opened their eyes to new ideas and it was good that Karen saw this took and elaborated what I had said which leaves a bigger impression on the students when they have two influences on the material. Thus, the benefits of co-teaching are seen.

During the class, I was able to assist some of the students in minor trouble-shooting areas. In computer skills, it is always valuable to have an extra helping hand with tiny issues. If there were aides helping me in my lessons, I would like to speak with them after the class to assess what they felt were the areas where improvement was necessary.

I am glad that my coordinator got to meet my colleagues at Eastern Middle School. I think it brought understanding on both sides.

I was definitely benefited by the meeting, not only to see Media associates unite, but also to go over my work and final project in a much more clear way than through email communication
