Last week in class I most appreciated being able to create a lesson with peers. I thought it quite helpful to discuss (and argue) why certain activities should or should not be included. It was interesting to hear about different peoples' preferences and experiences--the reasoning behind why someone would not choose to have a coloring sheet with lines for first graders.
Last week I also learned that I learn best by listening. Granted, all of my scores were withing a 6 point range. I'm guessing that means I need to see, hear, and do something before I can learn it. Makes sence. Although I did complete my Media in Education course without ever opening the book or taking notes, I just never missed a lecture and I paid rapt attention. A lot could be said for prior knowledge in that course though.

Those learning style things are crazy. I deny needing to do it to learn it, yet I'm sure I really do. I just don't want to admit it.
I also enjoyed the conversation in prepping a lesson plan. However, I was a little fuzzy on language objectives vs content objectives.
Developing a lesson plan as a group was so interesting for me too because you may find lots of useful different techniques which you have not heard about it before. "wordworld" was one of them for me.
