- 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? This lesson was engaging for each student and was perfect for the time allotted.
- How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained? The objectives were maintained and the students were able to recognize the states and place them in the proper places on a map.
- Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson A few of the students finished earlier than planned so I had them continue to place capitals on the states they were familiar with and look up the capitals they were not familiar with.
- Mechanics:
- What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)? Both the iPads and Computers were used during this lesson.
- How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)? The computer was used for the students to complete their final assessment using Kidspiration and the iPads to complete the U.S Map game and to look up capitals if needed.
- My lesson was within the correct time frame
- It was short because…
- It was too long because…
- The lesson was within the correct time frame because there were enough activities to be completed for the students intellectual level.
- 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
- Most of my students succeeded in achieving the standards. One students needed a little more time on each activity to place the states in the correct place but her understanding was there.
- Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
- How do your individual reflections support this? The activity was successful because the students were able to complete the work and the students enjoyed the challenge.
- How do the comments from your classmates support this? The students commented, "Great lesson!"
- What did you learn from designing and teaching this lesson and how will you use this in the creation of future lessons/learning activities. I enjoyed creating a lesson allowing students to create their country from a blank state. It challenged students to really understand what their country looks like and each individual states place on the map. I will incorporate technology in my classroom in this way.

Not only were these lessons given a good deal of thought, but you also did a nice job of addressing the reflection questions. With these you have described why the lessons should be taught and why you taught them the way you did. I want you to continue to think about why and how you are teaching lessons. This will help to ensure that each of you future lessons supports the individual students and the learning of the content.
ReplyDeleteIn these reflections, you have shared the importance of examining what happens as you teach in the classroom. You recalled a number of things that went well and a number of things that could have been improved. Remember to take these understandings forward and use them as you direct future lessons. Keep engaging in the reflective process to further better yourself as a teacher.
