Post 1: Introduction

Finally, the first week of classes are over with.  I am very fortunate to be in such a wonderful education program here at the University of Tennessee. I love all of my new colleges and teachers, and I am eager to get the ball rolling this semester.  I previously took Ed Psych 201 (I believe that was the course number), and I really enjoyed the class.  I am excited to learn more about the psychology of learners.

From this class, I hope to gain more insight on how to better help my students learn. I think by studying the psychology of a learner, we are better able to provide our students with the highest level of educational teaching.  We can provide our students with an environment that is beneficial in all aspects of learning, such as socially, cognitively, physically, etc.

I love the idea of starting a blog to reflect on the class, and I am very excited.  Reflection is key to learning!
