Upon reflection of this assignment and unit so far I would have to say my opinions have been changed dramatically about what I believed literacy was, and what it means to be a literate person.
I haven't had much experience as a teacher in a school except for ten days in my first prac last year. However, I teach my own two children every day. I now understand that to be a good teacher I have to create opportunities that will allow my students to explore and engage with the world. Allow them to grow through many different experiences. I have to give them reasons to break out of their loops, as Ania and Jemma have both stated on learn line and lectures. As a teacher I will need to scaffold my students and not get to weighed down with the outcomes of the curriculum, it is all in the interpretation. I believe I will be a good teacher as I have the ability to look back at my past experiences and ensure what happened to me will not happen to any of my students. Pressley states, One of the important roles of prior knowledge is that it allows people to have a very good understanding of a very large situation given relatively little information. Pressley, M,(1998). I believe my past experience will allow me to feel more empathetic toward those who are struggling. I am a creative person and am able to tackle most problems when they occur. For example, I had been working on this assignment all week as the due date was Sunday midnight, when my site crashed Friday night and I lost the lot. I rang my friend nearly in tears, and telling tales of woe. She informed me not to stress and had I tried a Weebly site, I said never heard of it. So I Goggled it and the rest is history hear is my first ever Weebly site. This makes me Literate.
One of the many sayings I liked was from you Ania and it was,
A human being is a story teller and a point of view is a text. Ania Lian,(2014). I couldn't agree more and now I understand what you meant when you said it. Thankyou.
