week 1 Doreen

Adolescent having a negative identify formation is a serious issue and finding solutions to get could help them have confidence in themselves, motivate them and also help them to improve in their academics. As children mature, they began to have a lot question regarding their identity, having a class section for identity identification talks in high schools or organizations in schools that will help adolescence that has negative identify could help them have a better understanding of themselves and the identity they choose for themselves. Focusing on the positive identity is good but based on my prior knowledge, adolescents need a lot of support and guidance whiles they are growing up.

 popular culture.
  one adolescent movie that relates to this topic is American teenagers. This movie is about the youth not getting enough resources or advice to guide them when they reach that age. they had to figure out life by themselves and as a result, they made a lot of wrong decisions.

Week Three reflection- Turkle

Personally. I think that internet technology learning has a ceiling it cannot pass. As it stands currently, "online classes" only work for the either the driven who are capable managing time well to fulfill the class objectives or those who find ways to game the system(as we have seen with the recent concerns about quizlet and college classes.) I would be hard pressed to believe that technology could replace the teacher, especially one who is excellent at explaining or showing the content in an understandable manner. What we need are more highly respected and well trained educators that provide the skills that technology cannot replace. I worry that with the push to "digitize education" you will see a negative impact on the teaching profession as a whole. The spread of the Summit program has me concerned about such things being integrated into public schools. I think back to Vygotsky’s idea of the Zone of Proximal development. I believe this is a key component in ...

Lunch room Activity

I too picked Justin after watching the clip in class. I have to agree with the statement that the final reaction/decision was not the same as what I would of witnessed in my high school. There would of definitely been some sort of altercation in this situation. I don’t know that it would of necessarily been a physical altercation, but at the very minimum something would have been thrown back or words would of been exchanged. The lunch room was pretty heavily supervised, so there is a slim chance that a teacher would of stepped in and shit things down before it got too serious. There was a higher chance that a response would of happened in the hallway between class change. The halls were very crowded and as hard as the teachers tried, that is where of the a lot of the fights happened. For me personally, knowing how I react, I would of most likely shouted something back and moved on with my day. I grew up in Westerville Schools, the fights where usually very “gentle” compared to what...

Week 5 Reflection - Natasha; Maria Brown

Your assignment for reflection is to do this activity and then write about your reactions especially in relation to the book. So I chose to go into the lunchroom with Natasha.  She is one of the "nerd" and she is approached by the popular girl, Ashlee with "two e's".  Natasha finds an empty table in the lunchroom and clearly wants to be left alone but is approached by Ashlee.  She is hesitant to engage. The first time I chose to ignore Ashlee and this scenario ended with Ashlee getting her feelings hurt and asking Natasha is she sees her standing there, stating she just wanted to talk. The second go around I chose to engage with Ashlee and Ashlee just wanted to ask Natasha why she doesn't talk to her and if she feels she's not smart just because she's popular. In these two scenarios, the point is essentially the same --> Natasha is clearly uncomfortable because she feels she's being approached by someone in a different ...
