Self Assessment @ Midterm

When taking the short survey at Midterm, I got to looking at what the was asked of me this far into class. I knew I was behind on my blog posts due to a family matter that required all of my attention. However, I did realize that I was understanding the information and was up to date up until a certain point throughout the class. I thought for sure earlier in the class I would have been completely lost by now. I think I have been doing pretty good for someone that just learned how to turn a computer on a little less than 4 years ago.

The survey for self assessment at midterm could allow me to assess my students by allowing them to assess their own work. The content theme of self assessment (CK) can be seen in the short survey that we had to take (P). Online organization of my survey(T) can help me see how my students think they are doing throughout my classes.


Relation to Standards This assignment could link to #2 Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments. This allowed me to assess myself and all of the work that I had done up to that point. By using this assessment say in one of my classes could let me know how the students are feeling as well as let me know how they think they are doing in my class.

Pew Milennial Test

I have no idea what this whole survey was trying to represent? I'm guessing it was to show us in what time frame that we were born in. I scored an "81" so I guess I have more in common with the Millennial generation. I don't exactly know what that means however.

TPACK
There is really no understanding to me on how I could relate this to my classes or how to use it in my classes.

Relation to Standards
I guess this relation to standards would #3 Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. It relates to that because it could give me an idea about where my students my stand or what they might know when it comes to technology.

Personality Profile #2

In the personality quiz for Human-metrics it was pretty acurrate when comparing against the hypothetical temperament. In the quiz I turned to be a (ESTJ) when in the temperament I evaluated myself as a (ENTJ). So they were not that far off in comparsion. When looking at these ways to look at personalities it will give me a better outlook on how to talk and teach that individual. If this is able to help me learn who they are it is sure to open a door on how to lead them and what they will respond to better.


TPACK
By using this Quiz in my Athletic Training class, I could use this to see how my students' personalities are and get a better understanding on what will help them exceed in my classroom. The personality quiz and results (CK) can be established and maintained when organizing for specific students in classes and weekly preparations for class assignments (P). I could use this to greatly assist and focus more on individualizing each assignment to fit that if each student by knowing who they are.(T)


Relation to Standards
When looking at the hypothetical temperament it relates to ISTE NETS T standards, primarily #5 Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership because it would allow me and other professionals to grow by understanding the best way to teach our students.

Personality Profile #1

I loved this look at our own personality because this hypothetical temperament pegged me as a Field marshal (ENTJ). It was so right on when I came up with my own code on who I was as a person. I totally agree with everything that the temperament listed me as. In the description it stated that I was a natural leader that takes command and plans everything out short-term or long-term. It mentioned that a Field marshal had a tireless devotion for their job and became impatient with repetition of error. It scared me when reading this because I am the spitting image of this Hypothetical temperament.

By using this Hypothetical temperament in my Athletic Training class, I could use this to see how my students' personalities are. For me the theme was of being a field marshal (CK) can be established and maintained when organizing classes, weekly preparations for class assignments, and our budgeting for supplies we will need in our classes (P). I could use this to greatly assist and focus more on individualizing each assignment to fit that if each student by knowing who they are.(T)
