After completing the requirements for Module 1, I learned many valuable things that I can use in my everyday life as a teacher. It is true that the 21st Century student should be taught and equipped with certain skills that will lead them to success. Implementing teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity into your classroom gives all of your students a head start on what makes a positive contributor to society. The use of technology is now a common day practice that is required in most careers, allowing your students to become aware of these skills and applying them also through technology is awesome. This week I was required to complete an infographic, which I was not familiar with until now. Using an infographic was the most valuable thing I learned in this Module. As a future English teacher, infographic can be used when introducing new short stories, poems, or books. As the 21st Century has became more visual, so should education. I plan to create infographics for the texts that I introduce to my students as a sort of entrance assessment. Through the infographic the students may get a general understanding of what is to come and peaks interest. After completing the text, the infographic can be revisited and the students will complete an exit slip on their before and after thoughts. Incorporating, visuals, technology, and life skills creates a positive and interesting classroom where the students can learn to become successful citizens and employees.
