  1. Kayla,

    Your reflection shows a deep understanding of how adults learn and the importance of making learning meaningful and engaging. I appreciate how you connected what you learned in this course to your previous studies, especially around catering to different learning styles and making sure the content is relevant and applicable. I also like your take on the course structure, where bigger projects were scheduled early on. It seems like this helped you manage your time better and focus on other important tasks later, which is a great strategy for busy adult learners. Your syllabus for "The Environmentally Conscious Individual" is well thought out. I love how you included activities like deep reflection, hands-on projects, and meditation. These elements help students not just learn about environmental issues but also connect with the material on a personal level. Using resources like Braiding Sweetgrass and organizing activities such as trail clean-up days make the learning experience more practical and memorable. I also agree with your advice for future students to choose project topics that interest them. Being genuinely interested in the subject makes the learning process much more enjoyable and effective. I appreciate your focus on the value of collaboration, even though working in groups didn’t go as planned this time. It shows you understand the benefits of sharing ideas and learning from others. Overall, your reflection highlights your growth as an educator who aims to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment. Your approach to making learning hands-on, reflective, and connected to real-life experiences is impressive, and it will serve you well in future teaching endeavors!

  2. Hi Kayla,

    I really like the layout of your Padlet! I also appreciate that you included your script to act as "subtitles" for the video reflection, and that you separated the questions into different videos. I have a hard time following along with things on screens if they don't have subtitles and it was helpful to be able to read your responses as well as listen to you talk about that. Our group discussed likes and dislikes similar to yours in that we did not find the concept of posting on the blog to be "user friendly" but were able to mostly figure it out as needed. As someone who also has a bachelors in K-12 education, I agree that this course was helpful in applying things I had previously been taught to the adult learner.

    As I said before on your syllabus design project, I love the content of your syllabus and think both of your projects were really well done!

  3. Kayla,
    This project is done so well. The program you chose to use set things up in a way that was very easy to navigate. The columns contain all the information as you scroll and I appreciate how it was all on one page and easy to see and reference.

    Your syllabus was very well thought out and the little things like bold words in your objectives made it easy to see that learners will follow a process that leads them towards a deeper understanding of the course content. Your activities and goals are clear and it's easy to understand what a learner should expect from this course. I think you did a great job and you have inspired me to learn this program you used for this project!

  4. Hey!
    I really liked the layout of this website, awesome work including all of the projects from the semester. This almost reminds me of a tumblr blog (not in a bad way!). Love the combo of text format and video format here. Awesome work!!

    1. I also thought the same way! I do miss my Tumblr years 😅 Maybe.

  5. Your project is well done and shows a lot of thought and creativity in both the content and how it’s presented. It’s engaging and easy to follow. I like how you included hands-on activities, reflective exercises, and meaningful resources—it’s clear you put a lot of care into creating a learning experience that’s effective. The well-defined goals, well-organized layouts, and subtitles' addition clearly show your efforts to make sure every user could grasp the content. The concepts were not just applied; they were made memorable and understandable. Great work all around!
