Journal entry 4Time management for me is being able to have enough time to complete the work that I have to do, in the right amount of time for the assignment to be done efficiently and correctly. Also being able to maintain a positive work ethic during the time when you are working on whatever needs to be done, also helps to maintain a good time management. For me this is more seen through the process of starting and finishing one thing at a time, not working on multiple things, starting two or more projects before the first one is completed. This helps me stay focused on what I am working on and what needs to be put on a higher priority then other things.
One efficient way that I went about time management was that I kept in mind what needed to be done first before I moved onto anything else that needed to be done. So if I have an 8th grade lesson that needs to be updated in the presentation then I worked on that first and did not worry about 6th grades as much because I was not seeing them till the end of the day. What came from this was having the lessons already thought about and having a rough outline the night or day before so that working on that days slides, learning objective and outline for how class was going to work was smoother and everything planned out. It also allowed for better time spent getting materials ready during the one planning period and maintaining a good balance during the day of working on lessons, preparing materials and if time allowed getting some grading done. This ultimately helped me as a teacher having things already planned or ready to go when class started and making the transition from introducing the days learning and language objectives to moving into class time smoother. So right now all parties in my life would consist of myself, my parents and being a student teacher. During the daytime my focus is on student teaching, along with all the components related to that teaching. After school, from the time that I get home, I find the best way to go about managing my time is reflecting on my day, while I am spending time for myself. I spend some time catching up with my parents, I then set aside a couple of hours before bedtime to go over assignments. I start doing more homework related work,and prepare myself for teaching the next day. My student teaching planning most always happens during the weekends, when I have more free time and am not on such a tight schedule of a busy work week. UPDATED: So for when I created this art poster, I was focusing on doing digital art. I’ve never done a lot of digital art before so I wasn’t really sure how to go about creating something digitally and this was the resource that I used. So for me stepping out of my comfort zone was creating something using a digital program on my laptop. In turn this is what I was able to create digitally, never before taking a photo or graphic design class. Hope this helps with clearing this up, please let me know if their is anything else you would like me to add.
