My name is Karlee Robinson and I am from Willoughby, Ohio. My primary email is krobinson13@jcu.edu.
2. What name do you prefer to be called?
I prefer to be called Karlee.
3. Grade level and subject(s) that you want to teach (For graduate students: undergraduate and graduate degree(s), education license(s), current employment: grade level, subject(s) if applicable, district).
I would like to teach fifth grade math and science.
4. What are you into; what makes you special? Share a few “unique” aspects about yourself that would help our classroom community get to know you a bit better.
I am a cheerleader, here at John Carroll. I come from a family of five and have two younger siblings, a sister named Mackenzie and a brother named Ben.
Learning Style and more: 5. Being as specific as you can, what must be in place for you to feel comfortable taking intellectual and creative risks in a classroom?
In order to feel comfortable and be willing to take intellectual and creative risks in a classroom I must feel like I am in a warm, welcoming environment.
6. I am interested in your perception of yourself as a student. Please describe it. Consider such criteria as a) active oral class participation; b) responsible, timely class preparation (of readings, projects, etc.); c) honest, candid self-assessment; d) awareness of your own preferred learning styles/approaches; e) first thing that you do when you cannot or do not understand something; f)other dimensions you believe to be relevant and informative.
I actively participate in class discussions. I feel that I am a very responsible student and am always on time for class with my homework done. I know that I learn best with hands on activities and note taking. I also go to a professors office hours or find a classmate in my class to help me when I do not understand an assignment or topic in class.
7. Is there anything I should know about you, your learning style, or life situation that may be relevant to your successful performance in this course? (Please decide what to share with the class and what to share in confidence with me).
I learn best with hand on activities.
Technology Section
8. What do you believe was the most important technological invention in history? Why?
I believe the computer was the most important technological invention in history because it is useful in so many ways. You can use it to communicate with friends and family, research answers, write papers, take notes and even shop on!
9. Please list a number of technologies you currently believe to be essential to your life. Star (*) those you (tend to) believe to be insufficiently promoted in education.
Cell phone*
Computer*
Television
Game systems
10. In relation to technology, please describe what life is like for you after a typical school day?
Usually after a typical school day the first thing I do is log onto my facebook and check my email.
11. Indicate any uses of technology that you believe tend to be inappropriate or used excessively (by children in or out of school, by teachers in or out of school ) or promoted excessively (by the media, the computer industry, schools), i.e. ones that should be restricted or regulated in key ways.
I believe that television and game systems should be regulated.
12. Let’s imagine, humbly, that this course is definitely going to be the most meaningful and relevant educational technology course you’ve ever experienced. EVER. Drawing on your past experience in classrooms, and thinking uniquely, specifically and BIG, describe what we need to (1) DO (activities/projects), (2) STUDY (content topics and compelling issues/questions), (3) BE (interacting with each other) and (4) AVOID (in the previous three categories) in order for your visionary views of an ideal course to be mostly realized.
I feel like we need to learn how to use and apply technology to everyday teaching, study ways to promote technology and use it to students advantages in the classrooms and be open minded to other peoples ideas and thoughts.
About Dr. Shutkin: 13. Write down two or three questions you would like to ask me about myself or the class.
