General Skill: Note Taking

Specific Action:  Mind Mapping

Course Content:  Math 99

Reflection:

I don't know if this actually worked for me, at least in my math class.   I didn't make any modifications to the mind map, it was hard to do with math.  I probably would use this strategy again but in a different class.

General Skill:  Self-Management

Specific Action:  Keeping a Calander  

Course Content:  Math 99, CDEV, Family, Life

Reflection:

This strategy deffanily works for me.  Every year the school sends out calander and I hang it up on my kitchen wall and write everything down on it that helps my life run a little smoother.   I will always keep a calander, not only does it keep me orginized but it keeps my family orginized.

General Skill: Reading with children underfoot

Specific Action:  Using television responsibly 

Course Content:  CDEV

Reflection:

My strategy ALWAYS works for me!  After getting home for some cuddles and dinner, bath and PJ's the girls get to watch half hour of one of there favorite TV shows.  This keeps them distracted so I can log on and do my CDEV homework.  Which usually means I'm reading.  I will always use this strategy because it keeps them busy so I can get something done and it also rewards them for being good all at the same time :) TV in our house is a reward, we don't do cable so watching netflix is fun for them.

                                                                  Auri watching Netflix with some cheese its :)

General Skill: Memory Techniques

Specific Action: Mnemonic Device

Course Content: Math 99

Reflection:

Yes this strategy has worked for me a few times.  When Im sitting in front of a test and all the sudden forget what to do I come back to my devices.  I see the picture in my had and then the sentence pops to mind.  I would most deffenitly use this strategy again in any class I'm in.  I've  been using if for years, just not knowing the proper name of the strategy.  

                                                       Variable in your trees? Log it down!

General Skill: Self-Managment

Specific Action: Course outline/Checking off as I go

Course Content: Math 99

Reflection:

This strategy worked very well for me.  I stapled the outline right in the front of my notebook and every night as I did homework I would check it off.  Any changes he made to dates I changed them right there on my outline so I knew what he expected of us every week.  I would use this strategy over and over again.  It saved me not having to rewrite things into a planner.  As you can see its pretty tattered from being used all quarter :)
