Lesson 3 Blog Phase 3

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 creating their own journals based on what we saw in the video and discussed.
• The video that I picked for my lesson ended up being a little bit to long to keep everyones attention so next time I would try and find something a little bit shorter.
• How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
• I think that the alignment to the objectives and standards was well maintained. I taught them about the Oregon Trail and I also had them create a journal which met my writing standard.
• Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson
• I had to modify my lesson because the video was a little bit long so I ended it a little early when I thought they understood the point.
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 pixie so that they could create a journal using multiple pages.
   • As the teacher, I used my computer to show them a video because a smartboard was not available.
   • My lesson was within the correct time frame
     • My lesson went with the correct time frame well. We ended maybe two minutes before we were supposed to finish.
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 create journals that included information we learned about before starting our journals.
• 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 use an app called mystory instead of using pixie but that didn't harm their learning.
  • 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 picked a better video to show the class on the Oregon Trail.
