Blog Phase 2 Reflections

 Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9):

The students seemed to have liked the video along with the Kahoot. The modifications I made was that I had to read the Kahoot answers out loud because the students could not see.

Mechanics:
I used my laptop, PowerPoint, Kahoot, and Google Docs. I used my laptop to present my slideshow and the video. I used Google Docs to share a KWL chart. I also used my laptop to present the Kahoot. I think my lesson was shortened since I was teaching a small group of students so I did not have to waste time with class management.

Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning



According to the reflections, the feedback I got was that I was knowledgeable on my topic and that they felt confident in the material taught in my lesson. I did get feedback that my lesson would be better with a document camera, which I agree with. I was successful in teaching my lesson because everyone scored 8/10 on their Kahoot and were able to tell me three facts they learned.

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 learned that it would be best to make sure that everyone knows how to access Google Docs before beginning the lesson. I also learned that students are motivated when they know games are involved.

I do not think there is a “right” theory to implement in the classroom, I think the right theory comes down to the teacher’s unique teaching style and preference. In my future classroom, I would like to use the humanism learning theory, because this theory relies on the concept of self-actualization, which is important to hold students accountable for their behavior as well as their education. My experience using technology has been extremely relevant especially during these times throughout my college experience because as soon as covid hit, all of my classes transitioned to an online format which consisted of a lot of tech...
