Personal Narrative: What I Learned In My Tech 2 Class

This semester I have learned many things. In this program Virtual Child I learned, loving your infant does not mean you need to smother the child. Letting your kid fail is good for them. I learned about milestones children should reach at what ages. I know the doctor asks if the child as accomplished certain milestones but being aware is also really important. So the parents can notice and point it out to the doctor that

It really surprised me that all my hard work in that class paid off in the end. If I can go back and do something differently I would turn in my work to the best of my abilities because I would always turn work that wasn't in the format or sometimes I wouldn't try my hardest to complete the work and after I saw the impact it had on my grades I started to care more and try to do the best I can to do my work and complete it to the best of my abilities. The most interesting thing I've learned so far would be about adaptations in biology it was very interesting to learn how animals can adapt to their environment by having certain features and I like the biology topics in general they are always so interesting and cool. The most important skill I have learned so far is to always have a great mindset and you will always do your best, If you put your mind towards what you want you will always succeed and get what you want. For Semester 2 I want to continue to be a productive learn and to keep up the good grades that I maintained during Semester

I learned how to write an academic book review. This for me was one of the more complicated portions of this project. I’ve never been introduced to one until this class, so it was a new concept

I learned more about the level of learners that I have in my class. My mentor teacher told me some names of high and low level learners, but observing them being taught and teaching them are two very different realities. I also learned that even my high level learners were struggling second grade counting skills (ex: ten more, ten less). This lesson also re-emphasized the importance of modeling learning for students (I do, we do, they do).

My ultimate goal for this year’s 10th grade project was to improve my technological literacy. The initial project was to learn how to create an iOS app in Xcode using Swift 4 as the programming language. I created a simplistic “homework app” designed to notify a student about missing and upcoming assignments as well as tests and quizzes. A simulator was created for the app in Xcode and ran it successfully on my computer. Additionally, I wanted the app to include other features i.e., adding classes, having personal reminders, and notifications. Creating additional features and push notifications created errors. One of the problems was not being able to correctly set up push notifications; when I created a code to allow the user to select the time they wanted to receive their notifications, the notification would not

Nevertheless, I did learn important skills on how to use a microscope for the future. I think this will give me a head start over others kids who have to learn how to use a microscope when I can start my work right away. I did think looking at some things under the microscope was pretty cool because of the weird and vibrant patterns but overall it was not my favorite. The last thing we learned in science this year was how water works. We learned the chemistry of water and different properties of water like cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, solvent properties, and pH. We also learned about the density of water and

I have learned how to ask better questions and to talk to my teachers when I need help or do not understand the concept well. I make sure that I have a relationship with my teachers and introduce myself at the beginning of each semester. Learning how to communicate with my teachers

I learned the importance of time management. You should do little amounts of work a day; rather than doing it all at once. The quality of work significantly better when you do little amounts of work each day. In later PEPs I will be sure to include pictures that are supported by reasonings. Pictures are extremely helpful to many of us.

One of the top five things I learned this semester was time management. I believe learning about keeping a schedule of what I do, will help me figure out how much time I’ll have in the future to achieve my goals. Another thing I learned was how to calculate my GPA, which will help me figure out later on what it needs to be to transfer. The third thing I learned was financial literacy. This lesson showed me

As a part of ENG 201 class requirement, I was able to attend three workshop sessions with my peers. Putting us in groups with people from similar educational backgrounds and ambitions was accommodating. This enabled us to understand each other’s paper on a deeper lever including familiarizing ourselves with our writing. I really appreciated the concept of my peers going over my paper and discussing it amongst themselves while giving me suggestions, feedback, and appraisals. It indeed helped me grow as a writer and incorporate the constructive criticisms given to me wherever possible to improve my paper.

It was one time that i needed money for my first car payment of my life... meaning i just got my first car like a typical 16 year old girl would and yatta yatta you get the freakin point. So i went to walgreens and bought one of those newspapers that have job openings on them, In my head im like "man this is so old school but its the only way i couldnt find any jobs in my area". All i found was jobs that you have to be at least 18 so i was looking and looking and stumbled upon job opening for a place called freddy fazbears pizza. It said that " there looking for a security guard to work the night shift from 12 am to 6am". And that you could be at least 16 years old i was like yes this must be very easy since all you had to do is watch a bunch a kitty animatronics,

What concepts, principles, or ideas that you have learned, do you think you will remember the most after you leave this class?

I had a tough time in a business class in the past that I found difficult and was seeking help from others in the class to help me out. I learned from this that by seeking help from others can help me work through anything and this helped me to get up to a higher grade in the class and also was able to earn 3 college credits from the University of Iowa on the comprehensive examination they offered our

The ideas and liaising with the moderator through the conceptualization of the product to the final output are not only a source of learning new skills such as video editing and recording for products which I felt where appropriate for the product it was

What I didn’t learn from my highschool class is how to properly set goals. I didn’t know that there was a process and I didn’t realize how helpful it is writing down goals and physically seeing them. I was able to learn S.M.A.R.T goals which helps you structure your goals to a achievable standard. I also learned the different types of goals like long term, short term, and immediate. I learn how important goal setting can be and how it helps you better achieve them.
