reflection 7

  • Fr. Jomar discussed about MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES in which I learned we should not call a learner BOBO for each and everyone of us has her/his own intelligence. This intelligence can be linguistic, logical/ mathematical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, sport and others. Fr. Jomar also gave to us websites in which we can determine as to what type of intelligence we had and I was stunned that I'm a LOGICAL/MATHEMATICAL person.
  • Afternoon's discussion focused on the different theories of learning. I learned from Fr. Jomar's discussion that as a teacher, we should be aware of the different strategies to be used considering the different theories of learning...behaviorism, constructivism, and cognitivism. Moreover, in the activity given to us by father, I was enriched when I surfed the internet about these theories and I gained more infromation about these especially in making the concept map.
  • Four more days to go...and I'm hoping that I''ll still learn more from this training.

This day is a brain- cracking and brain- draining day for me. Yeah, that's really what I feel on this day's training. Topic discussed to us...TELECOLLABORATIVE LEARNING, is really a challenging topic but is very important to be utilized in the class. Nevertheless, on this day's discussion, I was enriched on the different processess in making a plan regarding telecollaborative learning in which I can share to my school. Likewise, I was also enlightened of its importance and significance especially if we we'll consider distance learning.

A fifth day of brain- wracking training... yup! The topic on authentic assessment , which is discussed by Dr. Balagtas, is really a helpful tool for us teachers that we should consider especially in rating student's output. Although it's a challenge on the part of the teacher, still, we need to make use of it so that we can come out with a real, true- to- life assessment of student's works. Upon listening to Dr. Balagtas' discussion, I really found it challenging to make a rubric for you'll consider all the factors that should be rated with regards to students output. Eventually, as discussion goes by, I'm able to learn on hot to make use of rubric, portfolio assessment and project- based authentic assessment. I also learned a lot when we are tasked to create our own rubric and it's really enriching on our part.With these new learnings, I'm very glad that I can apply these to my teaching profession.

you know, it's really a very fruitful experience to have this SMART Mentor training. On this day, I learned a lot especially in ICT integration to my field of specialization. The group activity provided to us helped me share my knowledge to my group members aboout matter.It's a must for us teachers to merge the learning competency and usage of ICT inside the classroom for it will help the students to learn more about the topic. Likewise, I also learned on how to use the YM and telemeeting which can be of great help not only to us but more importantly to our students. It's really an enriching day for me to learn those things.

Reflection- Day 1

A journey to a thousand miles begins with a single step... and this is probably my first step in attaining my very sweet dream of sharing my knowlege nowadays with my students as well as my co-teachers of what will I harvest in becoming one of the SMART Mentor scholars.
with this first day of training, I can really perceive that I'll learn a lot in this scholarship program especially that Fr. Jomar explained well on mining the internet. My aha experience... yeah! I learned on how to use the internet comprehensively especially in researching and itt deemed significant to me especially that I'm using the internet in teaching. I also learned on how to use this Blog, on how to make a module by analyzing the given NUGGETS and making a scavenger hunt.
The tasks for this first day of training are really challenging especially in making a module out of the given nuggets and making a scavenger hunt and I was able to cope up with these challenges by being patient and attentive listener during the discussion.
Moving on, I will still do my best in complying with all the requirements of this training and I will also share my expertise and knowledge to my co- scholars. I will participate and cooperate if there are activities or exercises to be given by the resource speakers.
