Autobiography Video & Reflection #2

I would have to say that my intial thoughts on Project Based Learning are that I like it. I think it works well, and it is really nice to be able to ask for help when needed. If I were to use this in the classroom, I would more than likely do something very similar to this project. One way I would use it is I would split the students up into small groups, similar to what we had do. However, I would give each group a specific breed of cattle, sheep, or hogs and make them create a video on the in's and out's of that specific breed. I had to do a project similar to that for Livestock Judging, and it proved to be very effective. Another way, is put students in a group in the shop and have them work together and build something. Have them do research on what they want to build, next have them plan everything out and get project approval. After approval they would work together to complete the build. Once the bulid was complete, they would put all the research, plans, blueprints and photos of them working together in a scrapbook, so once they were totally complete they would be able to showcase their project and what it took to get there. All in all, I belive that Project Based learning was very effective, and honestly at first I was skeptical, but after completing this project, it relieved all doubt I had. Thanks and I hope you enjoy my movie!

Autobiography Script

Hello everyone, my name is Hunter Cole Brietzke. I was born, and raised in the little town of Marion, Texas. My major is Ag Leadership, with a minor in Education. I think three word that describe me pretty well are motivated, optimistic, and hard-headed. I believe motivated fits me to a "T", because all of my life if I set my mind to do something you better believe I am going to get it done, not matter what it takes. Next, optimistic is something I always try to stay. No matter how sticky the situation is, I believe there is always a positive way to look at life. Lastly, I would call myself hard-headed because I always want to be right. I  have been known to be pretty intelligent, and when someone tries to prove me wrong, I always ask for proof, and will not believe someone until the show me some! My parents names' are Larry and Kathy Brietzke. They were also born and raised in Marion, and were high school sweethearts. This year they will be celebrating their 30th anniversary. I guess what motivates me the most in life is the want to make a name for myself. I want to be known, and remembered for something great. Whether it be coach the most State Champion Livestock Judging teams, or just being known as someone who will break his back to help someone in any way possible. My career aspiration are simple. Be the best teacher I can be. Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than seeing that spark in a child's eye when they finally understand something. I hope my little story has been entertaining, but I want to end on one of my favorite quotes, "Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway." Thanks guys!

Reflection #1: Introduction

Hey there again! Well as I previously stated, my name is Hunter Brietzke, and I am from Marion, texas. My major here at ASU is Ag Leadership, with a minor in Education. My Skype username is hunter.brietzke10, you should add me so we can chat sometime.

I guess I decided to attend ASU because I went to a juco around the College Station area, so of course all my friends went to TAMU, and I just wanted to do something different. I want to become a teacher for a couple reasons; 1, I was always the one my friends came to when the needed help on an assignment, or with studying, and I would just feel so accomplished when I saw that little spark in their eye when they finally understood. 2, I am a people person, I just get along with everyone. 3, I was big into agriculture, and I want to coach State Champion FFA teams, whether they are Career, or Leadership development events.

Im not very computer savvy, and from this course I would like catch up with the many changes in tecnology. Technology has exploded from the time I start school up until now. Back in my younger days, we had the occasion computer assignment during an allotted time period, but nowadays it seems just about EVERYTHING is done on a computer. I can only imagine what it will be like in another 20 years.

Finally

Im finally starting to think I have the hang of this. I've got all my contacts added, and I even figured out how to edit my profile. Boys and girls, get ready!

Hey everyone! My name is Hunter Brietzke, and I'm from the small town of Marion, Tx, which is about 25 miles Southeast of San Antonio. I'm here at ASU studying Ag Leadership,  minoring in Education with the hopes of one day becoming an Ag Teacher at the high school level. I am very involved in the field of Agriculture, and here at ASU, I am a member of the Livestock Judging team. We travel across the Nation to various contest in the pursuit of bring trophies and recognition back here, to San Angelo. Growing up, if I wasn't working my cattle, or my hogs I was playing sports. This carried on all throughout high school where I received top honors at various stock shows across the state, and as well as on both the baseball and football field. Now that I am in college, I still try to stay as active as I can, playing almost every intramural sport my schedule will allow, as well as going to as many stock shows as I can. As you can probably tell, I am new to this "blogging" thing, but I am looking forward to become a genuine blogger. Hope you enjoy!
