Teach Your Teacher Reflection

After writing instructions on how to add live short codes, showing him how to add them. I have done it.

Some context and how I got here

So this will be the first maker project that we are doing, which is improving our blog posts because Mr. Harris said that all of our blog posts are quite bad from last year. So this project is to improve the visuals and the way we tell our stories in our blogs. One of the activities I did today was teach Mr. Harris how to add a cool feature in WordPress. I did live shortcodes and a divider, which I put above the text here. The process of making the instructions was easy and intuitive, so it wasn’t too hard to do, and then I had to show Mr. Harris how to add shortcodes and dividers. It went well mostly, but on his screen, it didn’t show the dividers, which was a problem.

Reflection on teaching Mr harris

So the main part of this part of the project is to teach Mr. Harris how to make your blog look cool. So I taught him how to add them. It didn’t go as smoothly as expected because there were some technical issues on his side. The divider was not in a style he selected. I could have done better on teaching him because it didn’t go as smoothly as I wanted it to and I could have come up with a backup plan because it didn’t work. So in conclusion, it went okay but there are some things that I would like to improve upon so this doesn’t happen again.

My learning intentions

For this project, I want to improve my Self directed learning skills. I will do this by using a planner and making a path for my own work. I will stay with this intention using agency.

For this project, I want to improve my creativity skills. I will do this by brainstorming and striving to make a beautiful product and creative product. I will use agency.

Some things I know about the book, what I want to learn, and my connections to my VMV and personal connections, plus to the driving question.

So, before this project started, I knew and heard about Atomic Habits from people in business and successful entrepreneurs. They said that the book was a valuable reading experience and they recommended the book for aspiring entrepreneurs. Some things that I want to learn from this project are breaking bad habits and building good habits, with the methods from the book. One other thing that I want to learn about more from this project is to read the book and see what James Clear says in the book. So to connect this to my VMV, I said that I wanted to improve my creativity skills and I wanted to improve my self directed learning. I would like to tie in my goals from my VMV and this learning intention post for this project so I can stay accountable for this project. Also, if I end up staying to the goal I wanted to stay at 1% each day, It could help with my vision for my graduation. To connect this to the driving question, which is How can improving by just 1% each day help me take responsibility for my learning, strengthen my habits, and create balance and purpose in my future career and life, I think I want to improve 1 bad habit, which is being on my phone too much, I think this would be beneficial for me because it can give time for me to do something more productive, such as a hobby or a job. Plus this could benefit me for the future by me being productive and having high grades in brutal engineering classes. I think that getting rid of my bad habits can improve my life and create balance and harmony in my life. In conclusion, this is my learning intentions and connections for this project.

Learning intentions for this projects

For this project, I want to improve my communication skills my contributing more to group discussions and using and providing evidence to prove my point and I will use agency and community to reach this intention for this project

For this project, I want to improve my critical thinking skills by analyzing  information and context before I make an argument or a point, I will use agency to reach my intention for this project.

The reason I created these learning intentions are because these are skills I want to improve on and they are in my VMV for improvement for this year, so in this project, this would be a way to improve them for the rest of the year.

What I want to explore further and what I already know

Some things I know already about this project is that is about WW2 and how its remembered, I already know we are going to talk about the fascism   War technology, and propaganda. Some background knowledge of WW2 that I have such as when Nazi Germany betrayed the Soviet Union and invaded all the way to Moscow and Stalingrad. I also know about some technology during WW2, such as radar proof vehicles, like submarines. Something that surprised me in this project is how surface level the knowledge is, I thought we would learn more in depth in WW2. To connect to the driving project. On how we remember things, my grandma might have some stories from WW2 because she was alive during the time and she might have some stuff from WW2 as memories possibly. In conclusion, this is what I already know about this project and what I want to learn more about. Now to connect this to my VMV, I said that I wanted to improve my communication skills for this year to complete my goals. I said for communication I wanted to share information in a clear and organized way using more descriptive language and clear communication. In conclusion, this is it for my learning intention post
