Due to weather conditions, Dr. Pierce made an executive decision to cancel class. Since we did not have class today, our assignment was to answer questions about our educational philosophy. We had to answer the following: Why you have chosen to teach, and what attracts you to your field? Teaching is, to some extent, a researched based profession. What you hope to emphasize in your teaching and what do you want to research?
Once we created our philosophy we had to experiment with using readability statistics. I played around with readability stats (Flesch-Kinkaid) and found it interesting. I also discovered that my writing could improve. Then we had to upload our document to a Google doc. and share and publish it as a web page. After we published our teaching philosophy, we had to create an avatar (basically a virtual character). We then copied and pasted the second part of our philosophy to the avatar. Once the philosophy was pasted, you could hit the play button to hear your avatar quote your speech. However, if you play my avatar below, you will find that even though she appears to be a woman, she has a man's voice. I couldn't figure out how to change the voice, so I have manly-woman!!!
