I cannot believe the ending is here! I am officially finished with my science methods course and have survived! What an awarding feeling this is! Throughout the course of this semester I have reflected on my experiences in our Science Methods and Technology course. I wrote a blog post just about every week expressing my feelings towards something we learned or writing about overwhelming, incredible experiences like fieldwork. I also reflected on projects I created like the science fair, research article review, science in the news, etc! I highly enjoyed writing my blog posts as it really forced me to dig deep into important science concepts and teaching techniques. I can now look back at the posts I wrote in the beginning of the semester to see how much I have improved and learned since then. I can even look back in a year or two from now and see a much greater improvement, which is very exciting!

I chose the title "Shannon's Exploration Through Science" because science is truly an exploration and I knew I was going to be exploring a lot about Science. I was right because I learned so much about not only science, but TEACHING science, which is so important to me right now as I am studying to be a teacher. Through exploring science, I have learned how to create different types of effective lesson plans, taught a class for the very first time, implement these lesson plans into that class, learned a lot about EDTPA that will help me tremendously as I student teach next year, learned about numerous ways to integrate technology into a classroom and was introduced to a variety of different digital tools to use in a classroom one day.The list goes on and on, but I have learned so much from this course that I will take with me into my future teaching career that will help me create success among all of my students. I enjoyed exploring through science so much this semester and I cannot wait to explore science in my own classroom on day!

I also had the opportunity to comment on other peoples blog posts and their titles! I think having a catchy title to a blog is important to really grab the audiences attention! Here are some screenshots of my feedback on my peers blog titles!
