A Classroom Of One Summary

I known about Rutgers New Brunswick through friends of mine who a Herd the University. They told me that Rutgers undergraduate degree programs are comprehensive and include a spectrum of majors. When I read about Rutgers, I found that Rutgers is truly impressive because of the way that the faculty, students, and community help to create an environment that celebrates dreams, empowers aspiration, and supports individual efforts. I also like Rutgers because they pair college degrees with experience. So, at Rutgers, I will take classroom instruction to a higher level through personal attention and hands-on experience.

Although taking online courses may appear to be very time consuming and hard at times, the idea of obtaining your college degree from the convenience of your own home has made it easy for students to continue on with their everyday life. This article has given me a whole new perspective to this online learning experience. Through the group assignments and class participation, online learning generates relationships amongst peers and instructors and allows us as the students to value each individual student’s walks of life under the same subject. This online course will prepare me to become the educator that I need to be when dealing with the different diversities with the students, parents,

The world consists of two social classes: the rich and poor. Therefore, the world of education consists of two types of groups, the affluent students and the non-affluent students. Why must the world of education be split apart? Why can’t both the rich and poor students earn the same education? Seeking an education is important in one’s life, it determines one’s future. In “Occupy The Classroom" by Nicholas D. Kristof, a columnist from The New York Times, informs readers that the world of education consists of a huge gap. The gap separates the affluent students from the non-affluent students.

During the observation of Morning Meeting, I noticed that my mentor teacher separated the children by gender when the calendar helper counted the number of boys and the girls in the classroom. My mentor teacher asked the calendar helper to have either the boys or girls stand up first to be counted. When the children are getting ready to go outside or to the bathroom, the teacher has also the boys and girls in separate lines. I felt that there were other characteristics for the teacher to separate the children. For example, she could she could have asked the children stand up or line up based on their eye color, hair color, the color of their clothing, their favorite animal, or even the first letter of their name. If my teacher broadened the

This video also highlighted various factors that distract students from positive interactions within the classroom community. Although most of those statistics probably have not changed much, I feel that students are currently given more opportunities to collaborate through online classroom environments. Students are given multiple opportunities starting in

In the article, “ The Teaching Class,” by Rachel Reiderer it states the world of being an adjunct. Rachel discussed the two differences between being on a tenure track and being on an adjunct track. She addressed the issue of faculty working conditions are the students learning conditions. She stated that being payed for the hours there make a teacher lazy and not want to teach. Rachel discussed that being an adjunct professor their is no job security and the pay is hard because it feels like your living from paycheck to paycheck.

Even though he isn’t against all forms of technology, he is also able to argue that the form of close learning “is entirely compatible with engaging in meaningful conversations outside the classroom.” He uses examples of using e-mail to communicate regularly with his students and has even started using many different forms of media. He has been able to appeal to not only the professionals who may read this article, but also to current college students who are deciding if online courses would be best for them and want to see both sides of this particular

At the end of the lesson Students are going to be able to describe where they live using the verb "vivir" and "tener" in Spanish. During unit two, they been using the these verbs and in the beginning of the lesson they answer the "Do NOw" activity where I asked then: ?Donde tu vives? They answer the question in Spanish and used the verb in the correct tense. After that, they answer a listening question where they had to identify the part of the house using the vocabulary proposed at the beginning of the lesson. Finally, they started a project where they had to create a Floor plan and describe their ideal house. For this activity, they have to use the verb "tener" in present tense. The completion of these activities ensures the acquisition of the new vocabulary and the verbs tense. It is important to mention, that this lesson will continue next week because students need more time to complete their DOL activity.

Last semester was exceptionally challenging; however, it was extremely beneficial because I had to work harder than any of my other classes before. I think various elements contributed to me being unsuccessful in Nursing 204. My aunt died in March with Lupus and that affected me in a huge on the grounds that she played a big role in my life, since I was a child. I was still in the denial stage and my emotions took over, which caused me to become less motivated in school. I just felt like I had no inspiration last semester and I should not have let my emotions hindered my education. In high school, I generally experienced difficulty taking tests that were not seeking the direct answers, and the Nursing 204 tests were not quite the same as the tests I would regularly take. My procrastination last semester played an enormous role in failing the course. When I initially

Some of the problems associated with online classes include; some students can be very visible without participating in the discussion forum. Online visibility and involvement can take many forms, such as read-only participants who slide over or harvest others’ work. Also, students who absent or rarely participate in the online

Alisa Stern’s article discusses the boom of online learning in higher education institutions and the major challenges an instructor faces with these online courses. According to Stern, the most challenging thing about an online course is replicating the same learning environment a student would get attending a regular face to face class. She discusses how technology has pushed online learning to become more collaborative and less isolated. Furthermore, Stern has experienced teaching an online courses and discusses the different tools that helped her recreate a conventional learning environment in an online course. Stern mentions that communication played an important role in the way she taught her courses and students felt as if she was interested

A classroom connection present in the novel is the way the government works. For example a president can suggest a bill and it will have to go through Congress. Congress must then have a 2/3 majority vote then it will be passed and signed or vetoed by the president. However if the president does veto the law then it can be overpowered by the Congress once

The community of inquiry framework is used to facilitate meaningful online learning through three interdependent elements: Teaching presence, social presence and cognitive presence (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2001). Teaching presence in the community of inquiry would appear to be a core to establishing and maintaining social and cognitive presences (Garrison, Cleveland-Innes, & Fung, 2010). And teaching presence through the design, facilitation and direct instruction categories are crucial for deep and meaningful learning and as such it plays a key role in establishing and sustaining the community of inquiry (Shea, Li, Swan, & Pickett, 2006). It is pertinent to note that the framework has a social-constructivist orientation toward learning where the focus is on students’ interaction in a socio-cultural context (Akyol & Garrison, 2011; Shea et al., 2011; Akyol, Ice, Garrison, & Mitchell, 2010; Swan & Ice, 2010; Oldfather, West, White, & Wilmarth, 1999). Consequently, this framework focuses on the learning process and not learning outcomes. The framework theorizes the development of learning activities from the trigger event stage until resolution (cognitive presence). It then moves from design to facilitation and eventually direct instruction (teaching presence). At each component of the learning process, students acquire trust, improve communication, build group cohesion and ultimately widen their interpersonal relationships (social presence).

However, advocates of classroom learning believe the online method isolates the students from one another as well as their professor minimizing the overall value of taking the course. They also claim that students learn better when working together with their instructor and their fellow classmates. Students learn better when they are given the opportunity to ask questions, join in class discussions, and they move the process of learning forward through their participation. Face-to-face advocates firmly believe that this kind of interaction is not possible over the Internet; and for many types of education, e-learning will never meet the potential of live human interaction in the classroom. An article in the New York Times titled, “Second Thoughts on Online Education,” backs up the points made above. A recent research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, comes to the conclusion; “A rush to online education

Compared to classroom learning, the interaction occurring at online courses is more international. Learners can develop online conversations on forums and interview other students around the world by using web-conferencing technology (Kruger-Ross and Waters, 2013:182). However, it is reported that students prefer face to face contact directly with the tutor who was seen as the focal point of learning, a channel through all interaction that connects ideas, builds understanding, provides feedback and gives summary immediately (Sweeney et al, 2007:316). Additionally, establishing social relations may need classroom environment (Paechter & Maier, 2010:295). Classroom teaching and learning is a complex, multilayered, and social experience, which develops friendship, connection and satisfaction among students. Social community is considered to be relatively poorly experienced in online learning due to learners’ disconnection and could probably cause isolation (Baturay & Bay, 2010:44).
