What I learned from using studio code is that i circulate around my kids a lot. I saw that I circulated around the students when they were involved in an activity and I think that is a good habit to start to form because I am then able to see all the kids and know if one of them needs my help. Circulating and keeping the kids in view at all times is effective in all age groups i can see the whole court or field and i can keep track of all my students at the same time. It is a good class management skills.
Another thing I learned from studio code is that I could see how effective signals and saying when before what is. The students are attentive when they hear two whistles and are ready for instructions. This is so effective for class management because i need to be in charge and when the students are listening to my signals and instructions the lesson goes a lot better and its a lot more fun too.
Next semester i need to be more articulate in my instructions to the students. Elementary students take everything you say so literally but they at least they listen. I think the older the students get the more they won't want to listen. So i need to know how to capture the attention of my class and be able to keep their attention throughout the whole lesson. That way everyone will have fun and we will be productive too.
