After taking this course I feel I have learned a lot about using multiple modalities in the classroom. I really loved the idea of the multigenre autobiography and may use it in my own classroom. I felt it was a great way to introduce us to how many different media have affected us throughout our lives. I also feel that I have learned a lot about using film in the classroom. Before this class I didn't feel like all of these things, film, video games, music and hobbies could be used to engage students.
I am nervous about creating lesson plans for my students that are interesting and teach the objective at the same time. Sometimes I don't feel like I am really creative, but this course has given me more ideas when it comes to planning. I still feel like I will struggle a little coming up with new and interesting plans to engage my students, but I am more confident now that I realize there are multiple options.
I know that this class was not always in the course plans for obtaining a teaching degree from Kent State and I think it is definitely a tremendously helpful course.
