Professional self introduction: Hello, My name is Megan Evans I am from the Myrtle Beach area in SC. I am student and Coastal Carolina University and majoring in Early Childhood education. I hope to become a Kindergarten teacher in the Horry County area after I have graduated.
personal education philosophy: In education I believe student should have a voice on what they learn to a degree. I also believe that teachers should be teaching the necessary material in new and different ways so their classroom is innovative and creative.I believe that teachers have a certain drive that makes them want to teach. This profession was meant for strong and determined people who want to make an impact. Meaning that teachers should want the absolute best for their students and want them to succeed not just academically but socially to. A teacher to their students should be setting an example for their students to follow in order for the students to succeed.
Reflection:The artifacts collected in my portfolio contributed to my learning by teaching me how to be more technology savvy and to help my understanding on how to do things when I am actually expected to do them when my job requires it. This also has been beneficial to me by helping me understand technology with a step by step mentality. These artifacts have also helped me understand what certain things require when doing them and helped me think of lesson plans for the future. The artifact that I feel has stretched my knowledge and skills would have to be the Info-graphic. This is because it showed a type of format that should be used often when in the classroom. It also showed me a different way of communication between teacher and students. The info-graphic also showed me how to format something without looking sloppy and not put together. The artifact that I would do over again and modify would have to be video production because I didn't completely understand the process and I didn't understand the step by step instruction of the assignment so I would probably modify this assignment so it looks more profession and is better understood to the audience.The portfolio and process fit into a larger framework of life long learning by understanding how to do this sort of thing you can influence people not just face to face but online as well. When learning this process and how to correctly do this process it has helped me learn what I can do as teacher when that day comes the technology usage will not be as difficult as if someone would have to learn the process on the fly and overwhelming with all the other responsibilities this process has made that easier for the future. This will make future teachers have an easier time using technology when required in their career.
