- I felt like the learning experience with the teacher didn't really do much for me. Mr. Schoonover is a wonderful teacher, and enjoyed the material I sent to him. Ultimately though, he didn't use much of it in the classroom. He also didn't give much feedback on what could have been better or more geared towards his classroom. It is also very tough incorporating any type of media into a P.E. setting, which is completely understandable. The class itself however was a different case. I learned so much new stuff that I will definitely use in the classroom. I can't wait for the opportunity to try new things and use new gadgets that I learned in the class.
-Mr. Schoonover told me many times he liked what he was recieving and thought that they were very instructional. he did end up having a couple students from his history classes taking a look at some of my material to use for their classes, but in a P.E. setting, I got the feeling he liked the way he ran things and didn't want anyone to intrude on the structure of his PE classes. He was very positive with his feedback however.
- Like I had mentioned... The experience of learning so many cool things that deal with media use was phenomenal. I feel like I can actually use this as a very effective teaching method in a classroom, and I am sure I will use many of the areas we covered in class. The overall service learning experience was a 5-10 on the scale to be honest with ya. It was great learning things in class, putting them in a media format and having a cooperating teacher tell you that they look fantastic, but having it be a P.E. class is what I think proved most difficult. I have the believe, much like mr. schoonover does, that the time in class should be spent getting a good exercise in.
- Was it Worth it?...... Definitely! Even though I gave it a 5/10, the process of everything was a great learning experience. As an individual who aspires to be a great teacher someday, I know that part of being the best is learning new things, incorporating new things, and to not beat yourself up if something you worked hard on didn't end up being a complete success. I refer everything to baseball... In baseball if you fail 7/10 times... you are a success. As a student teacher/ new teacher, it's not expected that you be great. It's expected that you work hard and put pieces together so that one day in the future you can be great. I think this experience will definitely help me along the way of becoming what I ultimately want to be... A Great Teacher
