MA Poster Session
The MA poster session was an interesting experience and it gave me a chance to speak professionally with students from the Masters program, professors from the college of ed, and administrators from schools in the area.
Patrick and I worked very hard on our ITU (Integrated Thematic Unit) Poster and website and I felt that our poster stood out among the crowd. It looked professional, colorful, inviting, and informative. We also set up two ipads which people could use to view our websites. We also had printed out copies of rubrics and lessons ready in case anyone wanted to get a closer look at those. I felt we over prepared but it was a good experience I would rather be over prepared than under prepared and regretting it. We received some great feedback about our ITU presentation and ideas. I really enjoyed talking about the project we worked on so hard and hearing what people had to say about our ideas on collaboratively teaching about the issues and history surrounding immigrants and immigration. Some highlights of our conversations included a lengthy and enlightening discussion on how to create a positive and safe classroom environment so that students with personal stories related to the issues discussed in class would feel comfortable and safe sharing their stories.
