What: This week we learned how to search using UEN and the Pioneer Online Library.

So What: This exercise will help me as a teacher find fast and efficient ways of searching and finding information needed for lesson planning, organizing, and even field trips. These websites are loaded with information. Almost everything I need I can find through searching these websites!

Now What: I hope that I will become a better searcher on this websites and be able to find fast ways to find the information I need. Once I get more comfortable with these sites I think that it will be a huge help in my teaching career.

Video Reflection: Creative is as important in education as literacy. I agree, children learn the best when the lesson is creative and fun. The basics are important but if they are interested in it the learning also becomes fun and more memorable. This guy was a very creative public speaker which helped his speech, his speech was more than informative, it was entertaining and fun to listen to. If I as a teacher am creative in my teachings then hopefully the students will be more engaged and they themselves will be more inclined to use their creativity. I personally find myself learning the most when I am teaching myself. It is said that when one goes to collage they find themselves, this is because at this time everything is our decision, whether we show up to class, take class, what we take, where we work, who are friends are etc. I feel as though the most important thing I have learned in life are ones not pertaining to math and science but in relationships and personal growth and knowledge. The teachers who teach and then some, are the ones that truly make a difference.
