bloggin, lesson plan 3, class, and JA

Bloggin this semester was kind of fun, except i fail to see the difference between this and writting on blackboard. I do blackboard for other classes so it would have been easier for me so keeping track of my blog hurt my grade. Its nice because I get to personalize it and its easier than blackboard but just different from anything ive done in other classees and then again not many peopl respnd anyway. I liked doing group lesson plans because its easier for me to formulate and organzie my ideas/thoughts with a partner or two, especially helps when you get sonmeone else' input. My partners did their lesson plans better than mine so it was nice working with people that could help me. I wonder if there is some way we coul;d all share our lesson plans in case we want to share them in our classes in the future. I think class was a good learning experience on how to teach economics but we are still nervous about teaching a subject we are not experts at. Yet, I think that creating lesson plans helps lessen that anxiety. I dont think im an expert but I think through practice I can do a good job especially now that ive taken this class and have good sourcess to work off of. I thin that Junior Achievemnt is an excellent tool for the class. It helps us get our feet wet in working with studetns in a classroom. I had a lot of fun doing it and I also volunteered recently to do a one-day session at an elementrary school. I also hop, plan to do it again next semester.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE IN THE FUTURE!!!
