Final Self Reflection

            Professional dispositions are often defined as the values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence behaviors toward students, families, colleagues, and communities and effect student learning, motivation, and development as well as the education own professional growth. Dispositions are guided by beliefs and attitudes related values such as caring, fairness, honesty, responsibility, and social justice. For example, they might belief that all students can learn.

            However, being part of this course has a great impact on my life. I know that I have grown in my professional disposition because the more I learn the more I want to learn, I believe that all students can, if I am a teacher patient with them. The Trio Program (Talent Search Program) asked me to tutor at the primary school I am working at recently. Without hesitation I immediately accepted their request. We had so much fun learning from each other. I tutored 8th graders in both subjects (Math and Language Arts). I built a relationship with the students and from that point we respected one another and learned from each other. I enjoyed my time with my students by sharing with them what I learned by using multiple strategies that I just learned from this course. It had a great impact on my students.

            It also changed a lot in me. Being part of this course taught me about the importance of managing my time well. I have come to realize now, that I can eliminate a number of distractions in order to complete my coursework or assignments. I have a full schedule every day except Saturday and Sunday. I created my own daily schedule to do the top priorities first to help reduce stress. The time given for each assignment is fair; I have enough time to work on each assignment.

            Participation in the Moodle Forums was a great opportunity for me. I learned many important tools from my colleagues and I was able to share my ideas too. Instead of just reviewing the notes that were posted on the Moodle Forum, I do a quick summary and write down whatever I thought would be directly useful to me in my teaching. I was able to benefit from a variety of new things from this course.

            Lastly, the biggest hurdle in this course for me was time management. I am a procrastinator and always have been so completing assignments on time was and still is a challenge for me but as I mention earlier I did make changes in my life so how I can manage time management.

  For an intercession class, the number of assignments was what I expected. I was worried with both the number of assignments and the time frame of the class. I did end up panicking a bit, but as soon as I organized the assignments, I noticed that the assignments were not as overwhelming as I thought. The very first thing that I learned from this class is that a different perspective will help. In this case, when I listed down the assignments and categorized them into forums and assignments with due dates, I was able to calm down. Seeing the assignments lined up, I was able to finish and submit them on a timely manner. The aim of the class was to learn strategies and resources to teach with the internet. The aim was reached, and I gained valuable knowledge and information on internet tools and resources. Despite the workload, I enjoyed working on them and I wished there was more. The Geo-Narrative assignment was something entirely new to me. I thought Google Earth was the same as Goo

       Google Classroom was the platform that the Guam Department of Education chose to use for our online classes. I found it easy to use and understand for both teachers and students, especially when it had to be done with no training when the pandemic hit us. Google Classroom was easy to use because all students and teachers had a Google account through the department. Teachers were able to assign assignments through various Google platforms such as Google Slides, Google Docs, and Google Meet. I liked how Google Classroom can put all the different resources into one LMS for the students and teachers to use.       Google Classroom has a lot of functions, such as being able to grade the students' assignments on the spot, and I liked how the students were able to download the application to access their assignments, whether it is through their phones, tablets, or laptops. I also enjoyed how Google Classroom allows the students to discuss the topics I posted, so our class had its fo

     Moby Max (https://www.mobymax.com/) is a K-8 learning website for all major subjects such as Math, Literacy, Science, and Social Studies. Students will be taking a diagnostic test for teachers to understand what level they are in, and it guides the teachers on how to differentiate the lessons for the students. Moby Max also has over 60 curriculum, assessments, practice modules, and subjects for the teachers to use. This program also actively engages the students with what they are learning, and it allows them to stay at their own pace with the assignments they are completing. It also gives the teachers the data when they are progress monitoring the student. Teachers can also customize the test prep questions and lessons to fit what they are learning in class.       There are schools from the Guam Department of Education piloting the Moby Max program at their schools. Unfortunately, the school I am teaching in is currently not using this program. As I spoke to the other teachers at
