Inventories

I took two learning/personality type tests.

The first was a learning type test. I found out that I learn visual/spatially. I would say this is accurate. Typically I like to see how things are done before I can do them. The test also said I learn well with words. I do enjoy writing and believe I have a creative imagination.

The second test I took told me my type was INFP. I have taken this test before and had the same results then. I believe this test is very accurate when… Continue

Proposal for Capstone

Introduction: This is the last semester of my Master's in Instructional Science and Technology (MIST) at California State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB). At the start of the program I was interested in making learning modules for teachers to learn how to use Moodle. However, my work has shifted from focusing on designing instruction to finding best practices in web 2.0 (especially Moodle) and finding barriers to the adoption of these tools.

Statement of Need:

Snowball, Arkansas...that was an education

I was the First Grade. All by myself. There were thirty-two students in the entire school, grades 1-12. Mrs. Nadine Martin wore a rhinestone pin and matching earrings every day. She was the definition of beauty to me although she stood a little over 4 feet tall, had a lazy eye, and was shaped like a barrel.

One day, Mrs. Martin asked me to work with Missy, a student who was having trouble understanding syllables. Missy thought "cowboy" had four syllables. The funny part was that the… Continue

Making Up for lost Time

I have not done much on this space for a while. I hope to increase my input now that I understand a little more about the possibilities.

I continue to teach physical science to eighth graders and my goal to this year is to have my students work as hard as I do. I am using a good inquiry based resource from the American Chemical Society, called Inquiry in Action: Investigating Matter Through Inquiry.… Continue
