521 Reflection

The most important idea that I take from this class is how to use LoTi to challenge myself in making my projects better and more meaningful. When we first discussed LoTi, I dismissed it as educational drivel. "More theory," I thought--great! It wasn't until I was working on my unit plan that I found some value in it. My unit plan is something that I had done before. But when I took a look at it through a LoTi lens, a started asking myself some important questions: "Are students using this technology as a tool or a diversion? What can I do to move this project up the LoTi scale?" These were questions that helped make my unit plan better. And when I teach the unit later this year, it will make my teaching better as well.

This class was a little more challenging for me because of the start of track and field season, but I didn't thing that we were overworked. I enjoyed Ed's style, and his flexibility.

What's the next course called?
