Media Notes

Today we covered a couple of things, but my favorite was when we worked with MediaNotes.
I really, really like Medianotes. I think it really is a good way of evaluating ourselves. We can make any comments and add our own tags to parts. I can now look back at my teaching and look to see what I can do better next time. There were things that I constantly did that annoyed me that I didn't realize I did. If it annoys me then it probably annoys others as well. This is a very beneficial mind tool to use for the future.

While watching how I teach, I realized that there are probably things that we all do that we shouldn't. For example we can usually come up with good visuals or activities, but something that I lack in and want to work on is work on animating my voice when teaching. If I had input for the class, I would have self improvement lessons. We are taught many things in class, but we don't always practice using them. Just going up and teaching isn't going to help me in some things. If we got into groups to practice voice inflection activities or other focus-skilled activities and get instant feedback from teacher and peers. I don't know if I explained that well enough. I don't know, maybe its in an upper level class. But it was just a thought.
