Summary and Synthesis

So far in the our SEED 418 class, I have been gaining a lot of new knowledge. The biggest area that struck my attention was the problem solving section. I always knew how a went through the process to problem solve but I never really have been asked how I could explain my students how to correctly problem solve. This idea was very time consuming for me, it took a lot of thought and reasoning. Also, in this class I have enjoyed the way we are learning the lessons with a hands on approach. The other day when we did the lesson study, I thought to myself how difficult it may have been to grasp the completing the square steps if we weren't given the pieces to follow along with. I am a very hands on and visual learner, so theses methods have enhanced my learning thus far. Lastly, I am very excited to do the lesson studies. The input that each other will receive from the experience will last forever. The lesson study is going to make me think about each lesson in a much different way due to the opportunity for each group member to have insight on how they would perform a task. Overall, class has gone very well for me thus far.
