Teacher Panel

So when walking into the panel i didn't know what to expect. It was a lot of information to take in all at once. That being said it was a lot of good information that was very helpful. It was very helpful to know how student teaching could go. The panel helped show the pros and cons and gave good tips to make the experience a good one. In the panel they helped the stress a little by sharing stories and experiences in student teaching and with the edTPA. When i had one of the panel teachers at my table he talked about his first year of teaching and making a connection with other teachers and with parents. He showed me this app called Class Dojo where he could talk to parents and tell them how there child's day was, post pictures, post a grade, have a one on one conversation with a parent, and post news letters. It was an app that connect them to the classroom and get them involved. Showed what their child was doing throughout the day. All in all this panel was very helpful. It showed what is to be expected ahead to how to handle what is coming. And that it would be worth it in the end.
