Gagne's nine steps of learning was criticized because it is insufficient for self-learning and ineffective in adult teaching. Do you agree with this statement? Why/why not?

I don't think in that way just because of his military purpose. I think Gagne's nine steps of learning is really successful. All steps are really good for the instruction. However, recording the characteristic of the learners is the most effective way of learning for the students because different students have different intelligence. So by knowing them, instructors can be more expericenced  and they can know how to teach students in a controlled manner. Thus, I believe this Gagne's conditions of learning should not be named as a insufficient and ineffective.

Designing Instructional Activities: Differentiated Instruction

In the video, Chris has interesting approaches. I like the idea that is aparting students according to their levels. If a teacher knows his/her students' level and changes his/her goals and objectives according to them, this makes them comprehend and focus on the subject. Because different children have different comprehension and intelligence. Chris's aim is to let students sail there. That is, if they feel free and comfortable, they can take a risk and comprehend what they learn in that manner.
I can remember that kind of teacher in my primary school. She was my English teacher. She had a good relationship with students and she was paying more attention to students. She was trying to find out who understood or who did not understand the subject. As a result of this, she had differentiated the instruction one by one. For me, I understood the subject thanks to visual aids so she gave me handouts which included pictures, colours, etc. 
 Taking risk is the most powerful and sophisticated quality for me. I think when I am more experienced and rely on my works, I will probably do this. I will encourage my students to take risks in completing assignment when I am a teacher because taking risk can motivate them and they feel safe by doing it. Thanks to this, they can understand and learn well.

Teaching as a Profession: Collaboration with Colleagues

In the video, the speakers clearly describe what collaboration is. Working as a group makes your life easier because sometimes people cannot deal with some issues and do it on their own. I had some experiences during my education life. So far I have worked with so many people as a group thanks to presentations and assignments. First of all, working in that way improved my mind and I figured out what I should have done and changed in my studies. Also, looking at the big picture from various viewpoints part of this collaboration. The speaker in the video says that different voices lend to a better outcomes. I absolutely agree with this idea. That is, different perspectives can help me to become better.
As I said before, collaboration helps me to improve myself, deal with problems easily and become better. However, I have some difficulties to get along with the others because I am shy and introverted person. This is my weakness of collaboration. I cannot get close to the one that I do not know well. That's the one and only problem for me to interact with other. When I overcome this problem eventually, I can be more relieved and I can focus on my studies. In order to overcome this problem, I  am trying to be more comfortable and I say to myself in that situation: " There is nothing to worry about. If I want to improve myself, I should get along and interact with people. " After I encourage myself, I can relieve. 
Being collaborator is really important for myself and others. If I express myself in a correct manner, debate certain issues with the others and take risk of making that outreach, I will be an appropriate collaborator.

My superteacher be like:

 

 My SUPERTEACHER should be easy-going. He has to chose his decision very quickly and deal  with students calmly. He should understand students' feeling without judgment. Also, he should be assertive because he has to express himself in a direct way without violeting students' right. Lastly, he should control himself and students whether he does effective things. So, he can improve himself by observing behaviours.
