Lesson Plan

Our lesson plan seems to have gone well. We did have some obstacles to overcome during the creation of it. We were a bit unsure about all of the elements we were supposed to have, at first. We didn't know how we were required to incorporate technology into our lesson plan. So, at first, we toyed around with a lot of stuff. However, we decided on something and from then on, stuck to it.

We broke up our stuff and I think we will be able to teach it next week. It is a simple topic. The presentation is the part to worry about. But, I think it will go well.

The class in general has been an interesting one. I was thinking this class would be a lot more mundane when I first looked at the title of it. However, once we got into the classroom, I saw how hands on it was and was greatly surprised.

I love how I have learned about a lot of different programs that I either didn't know existed (like Wiki and Inspiration) and those that I didn't know how to use (like Publisher).

I don't know if there is anything I would have wanted to do differently except that sometimes, I would like to have done some projects alone. Since I don't live in Commerce, it can be hard and stressful to have to finish a project in a program I don't have at home and that I have to coordinate with another person who lives no where near me.

I think that it is crucial for teachers to know how to incorporate and use technology in the classroom since it has become such a large part of all of our lives. The world is becoming more and more immersed into the technological world and to thrive in it, we must participate in it. Otherwise, we will be left by the wayside with no job or a bad job, or will be constantly unsure of how to get our jobs done on time and done well.
