EDU+101+Formative+Assessment

The first four Essential Questions for EDU 101 are:
 * How do I become a teacher?
 * How can I be successful at UMF?
 * How can I use knowledge of the learner to be a better teacher?
 * Which theories and historical influences should most impact the schools we'd like to have?

In your blog, you will write 4 new postings, one for each essential question. Each posting will include: > Make the title of your posting the question that you are addressing. The label for each should be "formative evaluation".
 * A summary of what you feel you've learned so far in answer of that question. Be specific about what you did (in class, for homework, . . . ) that helped you learn that. If you feel like there were things you already knew about this, feel free to list those. It's okay to say you don't feel like you've learned anything in that category yet. Maybe you were absent, maybe we haven't covered it yet, maybe it wasn't covered in such a way that you were able to learn from it.
 * At least one question, concern, or topic in this area that you would like to see addressed before the end of the course.

The fifth Essential Question is, "How do I start thinking like a teacher (instead of as a student)?" Create a blog posting titled "How do I start thinking like a teacher?" Do you feel like you are starting to think like a teacher or do you still think like a student. Be honest. Is there anything that we could do in class that you think would help you think more like a teacher? Blog about that, too. Label this posting "formative evaluation".

All of these postings should be well-written, free of grammatical and spelling errors. Feel free to write them first in a word processor to take advantage of spell check and grammar check, then copy and paste your writing into the blog posting.
