Letter+to+Teacher

During this course I learned that designing a class is much more difficult than I had planned on, I had spent my entire college career trying to fill my head with knowledge and had taken very little time learning how to relay that knowledge to my future students, I am most proud of the fact that I have now realized that importance and tried to translate it into how I learn the material I plan on presenting later. The next time I use technology I will make sure to plan ahead better, and be very clear about what I need my final product to look like. Technology is moving forward at an incredible pace and as a teacher one of my greatest fears is being able to keep up with my students, but I am also excited my the challenge it presents. I will try to incorporate technology wherever possible, and attempt to help my students to “really be in history” and find ways to see how people really lived in the past. I hope to utilize the skills I have learned in this class to make a beneficial difference in my students lives, so thank you Dr. McGregor, for helping me by showing me how truly patient a teacher can be.

Sincerely,

Jamie Reed
