Week 6 Reflection

I am actually relieved to be finished with my reflective essay for EDU 651. I always felt like I was never able to put my full effort into the assignments in this class. I've been juggling this class and preparation for the drastically increased class sizes I will have this coming school year. While I did not spend as much time designing the mock classrooms for this course as I probably should have, I did spend a lot of time redesigning my own Blackboard site using what I learned in EDU 651. If the best way to create the conditions in which learning can occur is to create realistic scenarios then I can't think of a better situation. As of this afternoon, my class sizes stand at 45, 42, and 40.
