Blog # 8

One of my favorite things about this class is the opportunity to make connections between service learning and the material we learn in class. One instance in particular, we had just learned about learning theories in class. That week when I went to my service learning. I saw behaviorism, constructivism and cognitivism in everything my service learning teacher did. Something I had never noticed before we had learned about it. 

The process of keeping a blog has done this for me, I go into my service learning with something specific to look for, then I take notes and when I get a chance I can type out the things that I am learning about. Typing it out just solidifies the things that I am learning and helps me to remember concepts that we have learned about.  

I see growth from the 1st blog to now mostly in the depth of my understanding of education. While I have been working in a classroom for years now, going back and observing has been a nice change to be able to sit back and watch what is going on rather than being in it and not being about to focus on the concepts I am using.
