Week 3 Assignment 2

Book or Ebook?
 
       Hello everyone! To start off, I want to say that this weeks assignment wasn't as easy and quick of a process like I thought it would be. I didn't think that searching for a book or e-book would be so hard, but it was for me. I first wanted to find a book and so I went to the public librabry and spent about two hours searching for the right book and getting help from the librarian, but I just couldn't find one that I felt comfortable with. After two hours I decided to search for an e-book instead and oh man let me just say it wasn't a piece of cake. I searched and searched online for many e-books until finally I came upon one that caught my attention. The title of the book is PRAXIS II: Elementary, Education, Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment by, Shannon Grey and Anita Price Davis.
 
       Those hours I spent searching for the right book or e-book was well worth it because the book I found is awesome! By just reading the first two chapters I felt that I've gain so much more knowledge over my topic. I didn't just learn about how or what is a teaching credential, but I got so much more information out of it. I learned that there are steps in preparing for your teaching credentials and when is the correct timing to begin preparing for it and what subjects to focus on.  I had a difficult time searching for a book, but I think one new strategy that helped me while doing this research was to just take my time, skim through the text, and pay attention to the title. As I continue to do research on my topic I hope to find out more about the test subjects and how to prepare for each one of them.
