-Does this activity differ from much of the activities you engaged during your K-12 education? How? or How not? Give examples.
--The activity shown was both different and similar to some activities I did in my K-12 education. It was different in that we did not use computers and technology to the extent that they did. It was similar because they were learning about animals and ranking them which my class did sometimes, but all of our information came from a monthly magazine our class got instead of on the computer.
-Is your learning style addressed in this activity? How? Give me an example.
--Yes, I learn best by seeing an example and doing it myself. In this activity the kids were able to see other sites and make one of their own.
-This project was implemented without the use of textbooks. Are you surprised? Are you interested in teaching in a similar way when you become a teacher?
-- I am a little surprised that they did not use a textbook but I believe these types of activities don't need a textbook and are very beneficial. When I am a teacher I would like to do activities that don't involve the textbook as well to keep the kids more hands on.
-What are your concerns and what do you anticipate as being barriers?
-- No major problems really jump out at me but I think it would be important to check with the school principal about such an activity since it does not use a textbook and takes alot of time to complete.
