Phase 2

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?
• Good: Overall, the flow of the lesson and the implementation went well. I felt that I was able to clearly give directions and help students where they needed help if they needed help.
• Bad: It was really hard to really get an understanding of how my lessons would go with actual first graders and questions they might come across since I was teaching to college students that obviously already know everything I was covering. 
• How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
• I believe that I was able to align my objectives and standards. The objective of my lessons came directly from what the standards were requiring.
• Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson
• During my lessons I was not able to use a smartboard, that would have been more useful and would have added an element of techonology which is always good for students to see since it becoming more and more relevant in their lives. I also wanted the students to freely go and measure things of their interest and what they wanted to know the length of, but since we were crunched on time and had other lessons going on I decided to choose simple things they could just measure at their desk. I also wanted to complete all of their graphing and data on an iPad. They would have been able to be mobile and document everything on that instead of having to write it town and transfer it onto a computer. But as far as modifications for learners, I did not need to modify my lesson to accommodate a students special needs.

Mechanics:

• What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)?
• Computers
• iPads (would have)
• SmartBoard (would have)
• How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)?
• Computers - by the students. They documented data and transferred that into bar graphs.
• My lesson was within the correct time frame
  • The lesson was in the correct frame time because I made sure to keep an eye on the clock and add or remove certain parts of the lesson according to our time limit.

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

• Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment
• My students did exactly what they were supposed to do. They documented everything and created multiple graphs for comparison between the different types of units that we used and were able to write about it.
• Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
• How do your individual reflections support this?
• I believe that I got the big picture across and was able to help them understand nonstandard and standard units of measurement. We also were able to incorporate graphing into the lesson.
• How do the comments from your classmates support this?
• Most of my comments say that they felt I was prepared, helped students, and successfully conducted my lessons. They gave me a few pointers like being prepared for gifted students and having more visuals... so that I will improve on!
• MY DOCUMENTATION CANNOT UPLOAD SINCE IT IS A WORD DOCUMENT.... YOU CAN FIND THEM ON BBLEARN! :)
