Field Trip Permission Form

For my template I chose to do a field trip permission form. I chose this template because I know as a future agriculture science teacher my students will be taking a lot of field trips with me to various places. Whether that be stockshows, competitions, or conventions. I thought why not use this activity to go ahead and get a field trip form ready for my future students.

The first thing I modified was the size of the text. The original font was way to small for my liking. I also made the title bold to be more visually pleasing. The second thing I did was add some color. The table to fill out information was just gray and dull so I added some blue to it. Most of my changes where just to make the form look better to the person filling it out.

This is definitely something that I could apply to my classroom. As an agriculture science teacher I plan to take my students on several field trips to see hands on techniques being used in the field of agriculture. This will require permission from parents and informing them step by step what we will be doing. I would probably also attach an agenda to the form to give them a break down of the event. Technology gives me a way to create this form in a more official way than just a written form signed by the parent. I believe this will be very useful in my future classroom.

Agriculture Science Learning Strategy’s

Strategy	Teacher	Learner
Make Predictions	Have students make predictions from a passage or cover of a book.	Take what you already know and make predictions about what will happen in the future.
Use Real Objects / Role Play	Give students objects, context, and experiences to act out to help them associate and recall what they have learned.	Associating words and expressions with an object, a context and an experience helps recall them.
Use Graphic Organizers/Take Notes	Encourage students to take notes during lecture or video to help the recall information later.	By writing down important words, you can remember key concepts and note your ideas about information in a lesson alongside its new information.
Substitute / Paraphrase	Have your students paraphrase a passage or material they are learning from to help them understand in their own words.	Find different ways to say the same thoughts. Put new concepts into your own words.
Cooperate	Give group projects or encourage group discussion to have students learn from each other through cooperation.	Working together, you gain confidence, share your strengths and complete tasks more easily. It can allow students to give each other feedback on their individual work and complete new tasks together.

Simply put, a learning strategy is an individual’s approach to complete a task. More specifically, a learning strategy is an individual’s way of organizing and using a particular set of skills in order to learn content or accomplish other tasks more effectively and efficiently in school as well as in nonacademic settings. Therefore, teachers who teach learning strategies teach students how to learn, rather than teaching them specific curriculum content or specific skills.

Learning strategies take different forms. Strategies like make predictions, in which students make predictions about what will happen in the future from what they already know. Other strategies like Use Graphic Organizers/Take Notes can be easily observed and measured.  The use of real objects to role play is also an example that gives students the chance to see how things they are learning associate with different experiences. Last but not least, cooperation helps students learn from others and share strengths to complete tasks easier.

Teacher Resources

The first teacher resource I would like integrate into my classroom would be the classroom response system or ” Clickers”. I always liked using these when I was in school. It is way to have students answer anonymously and get instant feedback on how well they comprehended your lesson for the day. This would be a great way to wrap up the class or even a good bell ringer to get the class started. It would also be helpful for me because the grades are instant and would automatically be graded for me.

The second resource I would like to use is PowerPoint or Prezi. For me these visual aids always helped in my learning in the classroom. It is also very easy to integrate links for videos or websites into these softwares. I will most likely use some sort of PowerPoint everyday in my classroom just to help keep the class on track and have a visual aid for notes. This is also helpful to have when students miss a class. I can just give them the PowerPoint slides and what they need to know will be on there.

The last teacher resource I would like to use is is the tablets in the classroom. Although this may not be financially possible for the school, I think it would be a great way to integrate technology into learning. There are so many apps today that are education based that students and teachers can use in the classroom. Giving every child a tablet would also help to not pointing out who has the best phone, or who may not even have one at all.

In conclusion, I think using these resources would be very beneficial to any classroom. These could really help bridge the gap between the student and the teacher. As well as building relationships between students through discussion. I absolutely love the idea of using these technologies in the classroom.
