Reflecting over my past 8-weeks
Texto del Guión Gráfico
- I use to think incorporating technology only meant using a computer in the classroom. It didn't matter what we students did on the computer, as long as they were using them, then I was incorporating technology.
- Now I think, I have been looking at technology all wrong! From using google docs, concept mapping, YouTube, flipgrid, animated videos, visual storytelling, and voice recording apps, I am now able to see that technology is so much more than just using a computer.
- The YouTube, voice recording apps, and visual storytelling assignments showed me that there are multiple ways for students to create assignments, especially for students who struggle with writing. Plus they are really easy to incorporate in the classrooms.
- The google productivity tools have shown me how I can have students to create textual writing, provide feedback and aid in corrections.
- When it comes to lesson planning, I feel like I have been doing the bare minimum. I didn't realize how many different resources were out there to help me with improving my lessons.
- For example, I hear my district talk about Bloom's Taxonomy all the time and how it's a great resource, but noone has ever really went into detail about it. Working on my lesson plans is when I finally realized how much a help it can actually be.
- I didn't realize I had been using visual thinking in pervious lesson plans. I now know that Think-See-Wonder and a KWL charts are actually considered visual thinking and they help students with learning.
- One aspect of the lesson plan I never realized I had to go into so much detail was assessments. Normally, an assessment is just a test that is given out to the students to test mastery. However, with the lesson plan for the class I learned there are many ways to assess the students whether it is a formative, informal, or summative assessment. So I plan to use more assessments throughout my new lessons.
- I also did NOT realize how detailed lessons plans are suppose to be. We don't have to do every single thing that was required for the lesson plan templets I had to complete this semester.
- Lesson plan procedures was really the only aspect of the lesson planning assignments that I was use to completing. Maybe not exactly how I was asked to format it, but every lesson plan has to have procedures.
- Lastly, when it comes to lesson planning I didn't realize how much the objectives played such a crucial a role. I knew the objectives were what the students were suppose to know, but I didn't realize how every single aspect of the lesson plan needed to be tired directed to every single object. I know to make sure that in the future every activity, assessment, discussion, and every other aspect of the lesson plan is directly related to the objectives and not to deviate from them.
