Seminar 9/22

I thought the speaker's this past Monday did a nice job explaining the requirements needed for the Education Program. I think as I move along in my education experience, the Online Portfolio will keep me organized and layout what I have accomplished in my years of education here at Luther. Also, the second speaker covered a lot of ground over the requirements of the TEP. I didn't realize the PPST would be so expensive, but I'll do what it takes to get in. Sounds like my remaining semesters will be busy ones, but as I said - I'll do whatever it takes.

Lions for Lambs

i thought the movie did a good job of defining the real reason of teaching. from what i understood it explained that a "highly qualified" teacher is someone who tries to bring out the full potential in a student. a teacher is someone who tries to show the student who they really are. the best example of this is when robert redford said, "i'm trying to sell you to you." the rest of the movie was great as well. it's unfortunate that the two soldiers died in combat, but at least they "engaged" themselves by fighting for their country. what i took out of this overall is that even if you fail at something, the least you can do is try.

The Beginning...

Hey all. My name is Brian Doudna and I am a sophomore at Luther College. At this point I am double majoring in Spanish and Education (I have yet to decide the level). I am looking forward to blogging this semester! Hope everyone has a fantastic year :)
