About Me

Welcome to my class blog!

Hi, my name is Brianna Church. I'm excited about having a blog! I've always been curious about blogs but never attempted to make one of my own. I think this will be a great resource to use for my future career as a teacher. 

A little bit about me: I am a senior at St. Johns with a major in Childhood Education. I am currently a second grade student teacher and I am enjoying every second of it. I absolutely love my cooperating teachers and students.When I am not consumed with student teaching I just like to relax whether it be playing with my dog Bianca, watching Netflix, or just spending time with friends and family.

                                         TLNT Chapter 10:             It is important for all students to have resources available to them to make them successful learners. The technology available to students of all cultures has really made a difference in students understanding of content. I have had the opportunity to visit the ELL class in the school that I student teach at and the use of technology is so beneficial. Students are able to use their home language on technology and it really makes a difference in their understanding and confidence. There are so many types of online resources for students of all languages and this chapter does a great job of informing teachers with resources they can use in the classroom. Handheld spellers and dictionaries could be so beneficial for classroom instruction and could all help students learn new words and their definitions. This not only shows students the words and definitions but the students can also listen to the words aloud. All

                         TLNT Chapter 7 This chapter discusses problem solving and how important it is for students to learn how to think computationally. When I was in elementary school we never used the amazing resources that elementary schools are provided with now- a- days. Today students are able to use a variety of technology programs to problem solve. One thing this chapter talks about is coding and how students are able to practice how to read and write their codes in order to see their creative ideas on the screen in front of them. I think this a great tool for students to have available to them. Through coding they are using a variety of problem solving skills such as making judgments, creating their own rules, looking closely at their work etc. I know I would have loved to use these programs as a child and it would’ve really helped me learn since I am a visual learner and seeing my ideas right in-front of me would really help me in perfecting my thoughts. One of the cod

                    Tasks Before Apps Chapter 3 This chapter discusses how technology furthers students’ curiosity, which reinforces their critical thinking skills. By using technology, students are able to look up more information and resources on what they are learning in class. The text explains how having QR codes on the back of the classroom library books is a way to further the student’s curiosity with technology. I have heard of QR codes but have never actually used one myself for books. I think this is a great way for students to learn more about a book that they are thinking of reading. When they scan the QR code a trailer video created by the students pops up and they explain the story. My second grade students would love having this apart of our classroom. Being able to create a video about the book is good for students to do because it makes them think about hat the story they read is about and include important details to share with the viewers of their trailer.
