Welcome
Hi Everyone!
EMSE 2800 is your initial field observation course. This course is designed to give you the opportunity to observe students and teachers in the elementary ed setting. You'll visit both an urban and a suburban school--each school three times.
You'll also experience delivering presentations in front of the class. In this course, I'm the facilitator...you will be in charge of what you learn and what and how you'll present to your classmates (I will help with suggestions). Although I'll be happy to answer your questions, and of course I'll share some of my experience with you, for the most part, you will be in charge of your own learning experience.
Please use this blog to ask any questions or to make any comments. This is a convenient place to meet with your classmates and discuss your activities regarding this course. From time to time I will post some URLs for you to visit, ask some questions and generally check to see how you're doing...other than that, as stated above, you are in charge.
I look forward to learning from each of you!
