Lesson 2 Blog Phase 2

  1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the implementation process and describe
    • What went well and what didn't go well during the implementation of your lesson?
      • I think my lesson went fairly well and it seemed like everyone enjoyed going out side and measuring plants because it got them up and moving.
      • The smartboard was having major issues which interrupted the lesson and kind of screwed with the flow of the rest of the lesson because I was in a hurry to finish in time.
    • How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
      • I think that the alignment to the objectives and standards was well maintained. I wish that I would have gone more in depth with the relationships between the different types of measurements. 
    • Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson
      • I had to modify my lesson because the smartboard wasn't working for the first 8 minutes so I had to cut some things so that we could finish on time.
  2. Mechanics:
    • What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)? How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)?
      • For the students I used the iPads so that they could record their measurements on a chart they made and then they took a screenshot and sent me their data charts.
      • As the teacher, I used the smartboard to show my students the expectations I had of them for making their chart and recording their data. I also used it at the end of the lesson to show different students' work.
    • My lesson was within the correct time frame
      • My lesson probably would have been right on time but because the smartboard was not working I cut out some of the discussion and then we ended up ending early because I rushed to much to make up time.
  3. Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning
    • Include at least 2 digital artifacts that demonstrate what you or your students (peers) have created as a result of your lesson

    • Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment
      • I think that my students succeeded in achieving the standards and objectives for my lesson because they were all able to accurately record their data and explain to me what their measurements mean.
    • Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
      • How do your individual reflections support this?
        • I think I was successful in teaching my lesson to my students. I wish that I would have had my students measure specific types of plants for each measurement so that we could talk about how everything is unique and has a different measurement.
      • How do the comments from your classmates support this?
        • I think I got some good ideas in my feedback. Something I saw a few times was how I should have had my students record exactly what they were measuring outside.
