I developed lesson plans that are aimed to implement mindful practices in the classroom.

Everything I learned in this course has very valuable to me -from the inquiry applications to self -experimentation of mind-body and the connections to classroom implementation.

This course has helped me develop a better understanding of Mindfulness at the personal and professional level. Mindfulness practices have given me many opportunities to stop and think about their implementation at home, at work, and at schools. Discovering new knowledge about mindfulness practices has truly expanded my knowledge and has motivated me to experience and follow through a few of many mindfulness techniques, so I could be a better person and a more prepared educator.

I will be able to encourage my students to find reliable information and to curate it for future use. Students will have an opportunity to find a curation tool that will meet their needs.

The Open Education Resources (OER) was the most valuable to me. This section provided access to information that will enhance my classroom and allow me to create meaningful learning opportunities for my students.

We are bombarded by information in many forms every day. This course provided the opportunity to learn to use information in an ethical manner and provided resources that will encourage teaching these skills to our students. It also provided access to many free resources that our students can utilize as they continue to develop their information literacy skills.

I will be teaching mindfulness practices to my students throughout the year.

The time to research and explore mindfulness practices that specifically applied to me and my age level students.

This course is highly valuable to educators.

This course was one of the best courses I have taken to date. I loved that not only it helped me and my family grow, but it is something that students will benefit from in their everyday lives.

I'm excited to use these skills this fall!

The strategies and techniques that I've learned to not only help me but also my students.

I took this class to help me as a teacher and it did more than that. It's helped me in all aspects of my life.

I already have lesson plans in place thanks to the assignments of this course. So I am ready to go from day 1 of the school year. I will incorporate daily mindfulness into my classroom.

The best part was the collaboration with other classmates. Being an online course, I didn't expect to learn as much from my classmates as I did. The repository, message boards, and lesson plan reviews really taught me a lot from so many different people.
