    I liked your prezi, it was nice to look a something different. I agree with you, I think if teachers find it works in their classroom with their students than they should totally incorporate learning styles into their lessons. Just because something is not researched proven does not mean it does not work for some students, and for me even if it just helps one student learn better than it's worth it.

    Hi Danielle, We see differently on the first question in regards to the assessment of learning styles. I think that we each are able to learn and understand in a variety of different ways, I just imagine a room full of kids that have been labelled as visual learners and having no communication going on and everything is done with pictures...I don't really thing that will be beneficial. I know that that is taking the term to the extreme but that is what I picture in my head. The same goes for students that are classified with hearing, only talking would be in that class, no pictures just continuous talking and listening.
    We do agree on the disservice by using research or lack of research in the classroom, I believe that research is important but not the be all of the classroom environment. You mention homework, and I have see research for it and against it, I like when my children don't have homework, but then it also makes me wonder what they did all day, especially if they cannot tell me. My daughter had a 3rd grade teacher that didn't do spelling words and test, that was my favorite. They had another activity that took place for the week called word boggle, the students loved it and learned more words then they would have if they had spelling words every week.

    I like your presentation. It was very creative, and I appreciate that you incorporated more learning styles than we normally hear about. I never thought about children learning musically, but it does make sense. I have boys that can rap about anything. If it helps them learn, I say go for it. I also remember teaching preschool and the children loved when we sang songs together. It was a way of drawing them in and getting their attention.

Module Three

Textbook Reading: Explain the three measures of central tendency, and how teachers can help children t better understand each of these measures. 1. Mode: The mode of data is basically whatever answer has the most answers. Ways to teachers to help children better understand this is I always remember that mode was like word most like "most" so if you tell students in order to find the mode you look at what answer comes up the most. It also makes it easy to figure out when you take your data and put it into a frequency chart to see how many times each answer was given.  2. Median: The median is the number in the middle when the numbers are put in order from least to most or most to least. I remember my teachers always telling me to find the median we first have to put the data in order from least to greatest, writing all numbers (even if they showed up more then once). After doing that you would cross out the number farther to the left, then the right, and keep doing it t...

Module Thirteen

Measurement Misconceptions Why do you think the students are having difficultly? I think the students are having difficulty because measurement with rulers might be something they have never done before. When we do something new for the first time without any instruction we most of the time do it wrong.  What misunderstanding are they demonstrating? The misunderstanding they are demonstrating is how to correctly use a ruler. Some students don't know how to use a ruler and don't know you have to start at the 0 mark. Some don't understand what the marks on a ruler mean. And some students just want to guess. Have you witnessed any students experiencing some of these same difficulties? I haven't had the change of working with students on measurement in my field experience so no I have not witnessed this. What types of activities could you implement that would help these children?  I would try to find online resources like videos or games that would help the student...

Module Five

Generating Meaning This article addresses how students need to understand the real meaning of range, mean, median, and mode before they are really able to understand how to find the average. It talks about how students need to understand the concept of how to find the average and not just know the procedure. The article then goes on to explain how they need to look, determine, develop, recognize, and understand  to fully get how to understand the average. The article then goes to talk about different activities to do with the students to get them to be able to really understand the concept. I really don't remember that much about my elementary school math but I do remember that when my teacher would talk about mean she would just talk about how it was the average amount of a data set. I remember the teacher asking us questions like "how many siblings do you have?" or "how many pets do you have?" and then using that data we needed to calculate what the mean or...
