This semester has really opened my eyes to the struggle of learning, but how valuable it can be when you come out on the other side. Here is a review of the best of notes and take-aways throughout the semester. Brenda Dervin: Sensemaking
It feels good to be learning new concepts and ways to connect with my students through a powerful and effective lessons to create powerful learning outcomes. I found that looking back and comparing John Hattie and Brenda Dervin they both use sense-making in their research. They have different perspectives of how to make sense to teachers and students in the learning process, but I think between the End User and the student as the actor both would say that the learning is the focus, not how the teacher is teaching.

Bobbe Baggio: The Visual Connection, You Listen with Your Eyes
TPACK has given me a great perspective when relating content, technology and pedagogical knowledge in my teaching practice. I have used it many times this year to enhance my teaching and focus on student learning. My prototype design and capstone project have expanded my questioning around my lessons because of the further understanding of the TPACK model and how they work together to create lesson mastery by incorporating a technological approach. Bloom's SAMR Model points out how to use technology in an innovative way without just substituting technology for a pencil. Deep learning is a struggle and takes time to get through the trough of Disillusionment and through to the Slope of Enlightenment. It takes discussions and feedback get to an understanding and a possible change in perspective and thinking. I am making baby steps in the right direction when it comes to my capstone project. My challenge is my focus and clarity around my end point and gathering data and evidence with out having classes at this point in the year during testing and irregular scheduling. It is always helpful to get peer support and advice and talk it through to make progress by hashing out the details.

You made a really good summary of all the approaches we have learned about during the course - really helped me understand it more, especially Dervin! You are making great strides in your classroom with your 'Tech Tuesdays' - thanks so much for letting me bounce some ideas off of you tonight!
