Self-Evaluation of Framework

TIP Chart 
Teaching Innovation Progression Chart

Self reflection is critical for growth. This  The TIP Chart provides modern educators with clear charts that can be used to asses competency in a variety of categories. I went about this exercise evaluating myself in terms of working with a nutrition patient.

I would say on the communication and collaboration scale, I am a 5. I feel confident in my ability to communicate and work with a patient. I enjoy creating activities and challenges for patients in order to expand their nutrition knowledge. In order to progress on this scale, I feel I need more experience in this field. Graduating with my masters and passing the RD exam are the first steps in the right direction.

On the critical thinking and problem solving scale, I believe I am a 5. I pride myself on my critical thinking skills, and I believe that is an essential part of being a competent RD. I am to encourage and engage my patients on every level possible, so that they may learn to adapt and problem solve to the best of their abilities. I believe the more experience I get in the field, the farther along I will progress on this scale.

On the creativity and innovation scale, I would give myself a 6. This is definitely one of my strengths, because it is something I've been working on for a long time. I go beyond simply instructing a diet or getting a health history. I strive to create a learning environment that will benefit my clients during every interaction. That being said, I look forward to continuing to grow and expand my knowledge base so that I can further benefit my patients.

On the research and information fluency scale, I am a 4. I am a dedicated student, but I feel like there is so much more out there for me to learn. It's beyond knowing the information. It involves knowing the research, but I need to use information fluently. At this point I can confidently provide patients with resources for further information, provide detailed instruction, and provide support. Again, work experience will allow me to progress on this scale.

    This is a great reflection Skyler. I was happy to see how you applied it to your own learning spaces (i.e. nutrition). Your reflection is honest and shows that you know what areas you need to continue to build and those that (for now) can simply be maintained.

    Skyler,

    It's interesting to see this discussion from a slightly different educational perspective. I assume that most of your clients are adults, verses the children and teens most of the rest of are interacting with. I'm curious what kinds of technology you use with your clients. I know there are exercise and nutrition tracking apps, but I'm sure you use a lot of different tools that I'm unaware of.

    Hi Skyler,
    Yes I too agree that self- evaluation is key to helping us grow and progress in any field that we choose. I really like the perspective that you used with evaluating yourself. Your research and information fluency score really stood out to me and I share a similarity with you in that area. I agree as you mentioned that when we work with our students, patients, clients etc., its important that they not only know the information but also know how to use the information to solve problems or create projects using the information.

Active Learning with QR Codes

QR Code Mysteries  are a fun and interactive way to bring technology into the classroom. QR codes function by requiring the student to actively scan an image to reveal a missing piece of information. This, by definition, ties into active learning. Photo courtesy of https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/active-learning/ But what is active learnin g ? Active learning is a teaching style that is student centered and engaging. I think this is something teachers should consider when planning lessons on a day to day basis. Allowing students to take control of their learning ensures that they will take more away from each lesson. It is a well known fact that people retain more of what they do compared to what they are told. Students will remember more information if they are actively working with a concept, rather than sitting in class and listening to a lecture. Essentially, bringing active learning into the classroom brings better learning opportunities to our students.  While ac...

Digital Tattoos

Tattoos In September of 2016, I got a tattoo. Even though I was 24 years old, my mom wasn't happy. She didn't like the idea of putting something on my skin forever. I still remember her calling me, telling me that I had put my first permanent mark on my body. While she's right that my tattoo is permanent, it's not my first. I've had a digital tattoo for over 10 years. I created my first social media account in 2005. I was in eighth grade, and Myspace was really starting to take off. Similar to most millennials, I transitioned to Facebook a few years later. I also branched off into Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and more. I have a pretty extensive digital tattoo. However, this wasn't news to me. I've been googling myself since high school, and try to always be aware of what I post before I upload. This  TED blog  does a great job of explaining the idea, and the permanence, of digital tattoos. Data Mining The idea of data mining is about goin...

Web 2.0 Tools

For this weeks assignment, I had the opportunity to explore a web tool I was previously not familiar with. I chose Seesaw , and I was very impressed with what this website can do. Logo courtesy of seesaw.me Described by children as "Facebook for kids", Seesaw allows students to join an online "classroom" with their teacher and peers. In that classroom, they can share their work and comment on each other's posts. Teachers can send messages to students and even have the ability to share the online classroom with parents. This is a great way to allow technology to bring teachers, students, and parents together in one place. Seesaw gives students a safe space online to show off all their hard work in class. Check out the video below to learn more about the basics of setting up an account and navigating this awesome website. Personal video of seesaw.me created with Screencastify One pretty cool feature about this website is how students log in. You can...
