Blog I Chapter 4
First, Teaching Goals, Methods, and Procedures (How to teach), talks about what each term means and how it’s used in educating students. Goals-are the reasons why lessons are being taught, Methods- are the instructional strategies teachers use to teach academic material to students; whether it’s a small or large group, discussions, lectures, role-plays, etc., Procedures- are the scheduling and grouping of students by teachers during a lesson and the decision of how much time to spend on the activities; teachers combine these three concepts for daily learning. I chose this concept because although I know that importance in teaching lessons, I have learned the exact terminology of each and know how they are meant to be combined to teach students
Second, Learning Assessments (knowing what students
have learned), is tracking the educational development of the students,
and how learning assessments occur before, during, and after teaching lessons,
which then enable teachers to evaluate their students’ knowledge, understanding
and performance. I chose this concept, since I agree that students should be
assessed and evaluated to see where they are educationally, and how they have
progressed, for what is the purpose of teaching lessons and not keeping track
of their developmental progress.
Third, Web Resources and Apps for Student Assessments
are technology tools that can be used to create ways and provide
resources that help teachers when assessing students. Using these tools will
help teachers set up guidelines and rules of what is expected, how it will be
graded and where to find them online or an app.
In conclusion, chose the three concepts since I find them to
be very important when preparing a lesson plan and/or assessing a student;
whereas it’s very important to make sure the lesson has a positive outcome
regardless of what and how the three concepts are implemented. I have learned the
correct terminology of things I do on a daily basis as a teacher and most of
all learned of different resources available to help become a better teacher to
my students.

Very comprehensive Kahoot - and you almost got me on a couple of them. :) Creating one as you did so thoroughly likely helps you to understand the concepts in the chapter readings better, as well.
