Blog 19: Senior Project and ESLR's

 Ipoly's 4 ESLR's:
  • Effective Learner
  • Effective Communicator
  • Effective User of Technology
  • Effective Ipoly Citizen
The ELSR that I have excelled in my senior year, for me is the Effective Learner and Effective Communicator. I chose the Effective learner because we are suppose to assume responsibility for our own learning. At first, I did not like doing this at all. I didn't like to do research on my own, I kind of felt lost, and I didn't like the freedom that we have. It was too much for me at first. But over time I had gotten use to doing all these research checks and was getting into it. Getting excited when I found a cool article or a book that I knew was going to be very helpful.  I realized there is so much that I don't know and I just wanted to learn more and more. And what is more awesome is that everything that I am learning I can apply it to my mentorship and my independent component 2, which I am currently doing. I also chose Effective Communicator because I've always been the type of person who enjoyed working by myself and can adapt in working in groups. But my biggest problem that I have always had was communicating with other people. So what I notice about myself, especially this year, was that I had to communicate with my teachers in order to gain better understand of what we should be doing and just trying to do my best this year.

I'm not sure if you can see the picture clearly but the first two pictures is of a website that really helped me a lot on improving my signing skills when I go to my mentorship. The bottom picture is something that I have been working on my Independent Component 2. Its just a picture of one of my lesson plan and what I was going to teach them for that day and the problems that I was going to use.
