Aims, Goals, Objectives

Even though we had off from class for Spring Break doesn't mean that there wasn't any work to be done! Webquests and Microteaching sure did keep me busy over break!! Looking through the Webquests was actually pretty interesting and fun. It is amazing how many teachers go out there and are willing to share their lesson plans. It is great knowing there is a place to go where there are so many ideas you can borrow from other teachers. Some of these lesson plans were really cool and included a lot of fun resources from the Web! Webquests.
There is the sight and it allows you to search any subject and grade level, it's very easy!

After searching around Webquests for a while it was time for me to start thinking about my Microteaching on Aims, Goals, and Objectives. Dr. Smirnova introduced me to this really cool site Xtranormal.
Lesson Gone Wrong Here is the video I made for my microteaching.


This site is pretty cool, the websites motto is pretty much the point of the website, "If you can type, you can make movies." It was really cool to make a script then pick the setting, characters, and camera angles to go along with it. It also made me really think about the difference of Aims, Goals, and Objectives.
Aims are the most general statements are basically refer to National standards and are statements about general learning outcomes.
Goals are more specific then aims which include state standards. They are statements of educational intention.
Objectives are specific statements which teachers can formulate.

Before my microteaching Bridgett had her microteaching for content analysis. I thought she did an awesome job. She made her peanut butter sandwhich and really had the class tell her every little thing to do to make the sandwhich. It made us understand that content anaylsis really makes you think of every single, little step that is involved in planning and teaching. I thought my microteaching went well, aside from the video having no sound. I felt comfortable in front of the class and glad I could still carry on introducing Aims, Goals, and Objectives without my video!
