Response to Sasha’s #1 Blog Post

Hello Sasha, congratulations on completing your degree! I really enjoyed reading your blog post. I found really interesting how you went into university math even though you came into it disliking math, but ending up being one of your favourite courses! Teachers can help guide students in their own discipline of learning, as the knowledge is easy to find, but the application and willingness to seek it themselves is something that ties into your text about lifelong learning. I really appreciate your honesty about online classes, as I too agree how they aren’t my preferred method of learning. I like your table comparing the different theories as it was really easy to read and comparable between the three. I like your style of writing as you keep it real! True to yourself and true to others in a form of clear well written text speaks volumes, as your path to become an elementary school teacher this is exactly what I think a school teacher should present and sound like.

Response to Simons’s #1 Blog Post

Hello Simon, congrats on almost being done here at UVIC! I too will be graduating school and its crazy that it has snuck up on me personally, very quickly to whence we started our journeys. I am a big runner myself, having completed the opposite of what you have done (half marathon BMO, full RBC). I really enjoyed reading your blog, but may I suggest using a list or table?

There are so many great constructive thoughts that I think can fit nicely into a table or list to clearly show your understanding of learning process. I listened to some of the podcast you had included on tips and tricks to help improve learning and totally agree with his six steps of scheduling time to study, putting the phone completely away, isolating themselves etc… Those are very attainable and realistic goals that with practice can create success for many students. I like the fact you ask your brother for help and feedback on work for constructive brotherly love criticism as he is honest and open, which is hard for me to do with my brother as it turns most of the time into a wrestling match.

Response to Emma’s #1 Blog Post

Hello Emma, congrats on getting through the first of many blog posts. I grew up dancing taking tap, ballet, and hip hop, and I can also say how much alike I learn when it comes to dance. Constructivism comes with interacting with our environments, where over and over again repeating the moves and dances to finally perfect it, is really rewarding.

When you talk about your motivation in regards to the ARCS model, you said the biggest motivator is Attention, but I wonder if it could also be satisfaction? You mention that rising to a challenge excites you far more than taking on something easy, and that when you complete a difficult task, I would say you feel satisfied with both the quality and quantity of your work over the attention aspect of being challenged to do hard work?

I really enjoyed looking through your open etc site, as it seems with all these EDCI courses you know your way around this site with your background colour, menu layout, and feature image. Could you check the rubric about tables and lists to be sure you’ve included it? It’ll make your site pop with some information laid out in a table or list. Maybe include a photo or video of you dancing?
