I have been teaching a portfolio course for the past seven weeks. For the first couple of weeks I tried to facilitate deep learning environments through group activities. I wanted to students to have a strong foundation on concept development before immersing themselves into the project. I believe the activities did help them start grounded but unfortunately on my part, these activities were not followed throughout the rest of the weeks. This created inconsistency within my teaching environment, which possible led to confusion. This noted, I am totally aware now of those ‘forces’ I was trying to make explicit in my research.

I am definitely more aware of what I have learned in the past years and will continue to push this knowledge forward.
