Hello! And welcome to my learning journey. Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. Today I’ll take you down my learning path, we will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. We are exactly half way through the year and at the end of the semester. I have had a lot of fun in PLP and I plan on doing it again next year. Before we start I’d like to add that I am a expert of my own learning and I’m responsible/accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give my honest evaluation of my progress. I would like to thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner. Now lets start!

The fifth stop is my growth:
What have I grown in so far and what can I grow in?
Compared to the start of the year to now in the middle of the year my grades have went up a lot. At the start of the year I never got any rainbows and always got clouds. I was having a lot of trouble and didn’t understand much how to use the iPads. I was constantly asking for help and really relied on my peers and teachers for help. School wasn’t fun for me and I dreaded most classes. The only kind of grades I got were:
Now after I have become more comfortable in using my ipad and more understanding on the topics my marks have went up. I am more confident on being able to understand what to do and I don’t need as much help as I used too. Compared to my old marks here are my usual marks now:
As you can see my marks have improved and I haven’t handed things in late. I am more proud of my marks now then I was at the start of the year. Hopefully my marks stay the same or get better. I like where I am now and I like my improvement.
But how can I improve more?
One of the main things I struggle with is homework, understanding it, starting it, doing it, and getting it in in time. I usually do but its very hard for me. My plan for this new semester to get homework done easier is to start it as soon as I get it. A lot of the time I wait until its critical and just rush through the work but if I start it sooner I can take my time and put more effort into it. Also if I start it sooner I can have more time to ask questions and more time to get answers. Another thing I can do to help myself with homework is to break it up into chunks through out the day. I usually do a lot for awhile everyday and it gets very tiring but if I do a little bit throughout the day I believe that will get me more motivated to do it and get me doing more. So during this new semester I plan on starting homework as soon as I get it, making a routine for myself to do it, and chunking it up into little bits through out the day.
For the very last thing I’m going to talk about today I will answer the questions:
“What is the most interesting thing you have learned so far year? What did you find most boring? What was the difference between the two experiences?”
The thing I find most interesting was doing the Geek out posts. We chose our own topic to write about and I chose paranormal activity. I have always wanted to do a project of my own topic and I finally got to. But my most boring thing is making blogs and doing reflections. I do not like making reflections on things and that is exactly the point of these blogs. Which brings us to the last question, what’s the difference between these two things? But its odd because my least favourite thing is reflections even though my favourite thing is a blog post. I think its because I’ve always done lots of reflections and I have never liked them but I have always wanted to do the chose my own topic project. I finally got to chose my own topic and I loved it. So the difference is me always dreading it vs me always wanting to do it.
Well that was the end of my post!! Thank you so much for coming and listening to my learning path progress. Hopefully you learned more about me and have a great day 🙂 good bye for now.
