The Educational Technology class with Dr. Sherman has helped me continue to explore
different technologies in my classroom. Throughout this semester there have been several
different projects to complete for this course. There were many activities throughout this course
that were extremely important and helpful for my career. After reviewing our online website, the
project that stands out the most to me would be the Scaffolding activity. This project held the
most value and importance to me because I could complete it while planning my current lessons,
The resource “Common types of Instructional Scaffolding,” and I gained valuable practice and
feedback. I look forward to using the resources I have created in my classes in the future.
Scaffolding is such an important aspect of creating activities for students that will
heighten their skills. This project was my favorite because I could do my homework and
planning at the same time. To complete this project, I made a scaffold for the activity we were
going to do on the Articles of Confederation. This assignment helped me elevate my activity and
make sure all students could understand and complete the assignment. Another reason this was
my favorite activity is because of the resources you provided us with to complete it. The
resource for this assignment is titled: “Common types of Instructional Scaffolding.” I printed out
the chart and kept it with my lesson planner at work. I have been using it to help me improve my
scaffolds while planning my lessons. I also liked that it gave me technological and in person
versions of scaffolds to help my students. It has been extremely helpful and a welcome resource.
Finally, it was extremely valuable to me because I could practice making my own scaffolds and
get feedback. My undergraduate degree is not in education, so this activity gave me a way to
practice this skill. I was also able to share this with my planning lead and get her feedback as
well. Creating scaffolds is extremely important for helping all students understand an
creating scaffolds for my class was one of the most valuable activities for me in Educational
receive a valuable resource, and the opportunity to practice this important skill and receive great
feedback. This activity has already helped me improve my lessons in the few short weeks since
we completed it. While many of the assignments for this class have been extremely beneficial to
my profession, this has been the most valuable project for me. I plan to keep perfecting my craft
and utilizing the resources from projects, like the Scaffolding project, in the future.
