For this week's journal assignment I am going to reflect on my first video tape performance of myself as an educator during week three of student teaching. For this lesson I was reviewing how to properly fill out their planner and reinforcing a lesson that I had previously gone over with them. The goal was to re-introduce how to fill out the planner once a week for at least a month a try and get the kids to be more accountable for the planner.

For this weeks journal assignment I am going to reflect on my first video tape
performance of myself as an educator during week three of student teaching. I
accidently forgot to write a journal on my first recording session and after reflecting on the few activities I need to accomplish such as my second videotaping I came to the realization that I needed to write a post on the first taping and I thought it would be good to reflect on the positive and negative aspects of my first recording. For this lesson I was reviewing how to properly fill out their planner and reinforcing a lesson that I had previously gone over with them. The goal was to re-introduce how to fill out the planner once a week for at least a month a try and get the kids to be more accountable for the planner. This was done through the possibility of a reward such as bowling or a pizza party if the kids conformed to the guidelines set up by myself or Mrs. N. During the lesson the librarian was nice enough to do the taping for myself and setup the video on google docs. During the lesson I have a positive attitude and although a few of the boys are somewhat distracted by the video recording I believe I managed the environment well. I did this by having one of the students who typically have trouble sitting still help me throughout a portion of the lesson. The class time before we started the lesson I had pre-taught my expectations for him and his peers during the lesson and offered him the option to help if he followed my directions through the first part of the lesson. I began by asking the kids questions in regards to what they needed to bring to class in order to be considered prepared for class and what occurs when they conform. After we went through that portion of the lesson I had the one young man come up and hold up a template of the planner. I then had his peers come up to fill out what they did during their first class and what they were expected to accomplish before next class. While each kid came up I made them conform to Mrs. N classroom rules which consisted of raising their hand before speaking. This was another way I handled the environment well throughout the exercise. The kids interacted well throughout the exercise and although my assistant made a few faces at the camera he was very helpful to his peers as they came up and assisted them with following each of the steps. The one negative aspect I noticed from my teaching was that I played with a pen in my hand throughout the lesson and this could be a distraction. I believe this was simply because of my public speaking faults and how I do not like to be the center of attention. Ive been questioned why I would want to teach and my answer is Im not speaking in front of a large unknown but instead I am assisting
kids with areas of academics that through research I am confident in my ability to
relay the kids the importance of the subject that I am teaching and mentally I do not get the same feelings in my mind when teaching as when asked to speak in an environment that I do not have a lot of control of perceptually. So overall my first videotaping went well and I handled the environment well and although I played with a pen in my hand the lesson went well and took the majority of the time. I did reward the kids with some game time at the end of the lesson and a chance to talk amongst themselves which the kids seem to enjoy because they do seem to get as much free time as the general education kids during this time period and instead do a lesson on social skills or school preparation on most days.
