Amber & Sim: Where to find week 7 Article!

Posted on October 27, 2015 by | Leave a comment

Hi folks! Some of you mentioned you are unable to access the article. It is tricky… but we have put below a step by step guide for you to quickly access it. I know you are all very busy as we are getting closer to practicums, but luckily this is a light read. You do not need to go into much detail when looking it over. Just make sure you have an overall understanding of it.

1. www.library.ubc.ca

2. Keywords: Children and their curriculum: The perspectives of primary and elementary school children

3. Choose the first link!

4. Near the top of the article it should say “Go to Page” _____

5. In the blank area type: 143 and hit enter.

6. This should take you to the first page of the article

7. Any other confusion please let us know!

As a reminder, your task is to write down 3 key take away’s from the article. It can be something you found interesting, something that relates to your past experiences or even your upcoming experiences you may consider for your practicum.

Also, don’t forget your leaf for Thursday… best looking leaf gets a prize! Just kidding, but please do bring a leaf, there are lots still around campus!

Posted on October 25, 2015 by | Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Pardip and I know this is probably a busy week for most, as it is the last week of classes before short practicum. Therefore, our entry slip does not have an associated reading.

Entry Slip:

List three questions you still have about practicum.

Please list the three questions on the attached word document and bring a hard copy to class. Thank you!

Week #8 ENTRY SLIP

Best,

Pardip and Gurjita

Reading for Tomorrow, Oct 15th

Posted on October 14, 2015 by | Leave a comment

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the confusion with the reading. From what I can see it expects us to have a Harvard database login which obviously we do not have. I have been trying to find you an easier copy to find but have had no such luck, so here are some quick instructions to find the article through the UBC Library Database. Make sure you are on ubcsecure to open it, as you most likely will not be able to if you are on a separate wifi network.

  1. Go to www.library.ubc.ca
  2. Type the following into the general search box: “managing on the twelfth”
  3. Click the top link that comes up titled “A curious plan: managing on the twelfth.”
  4. On the next page that opens click on Browse Journal to open a new page at the Harvard database
  5. On the next page, it shows a bunch of dates and journal issues. Click on the 1990-1999 expand box. Next, click on Volume 63, and then click on Issue 3 from September 1993. This will open a new page
  6. Find the article labelled “Teaching and Practice” and click on the PDF link and it will open!

Sorry for the confusion with getting the article! I know it’s a hassle and if you cannot access it we will do our best to explain it all to you tomorrow!

Thanks!
