Reflection on Lesson Implementation 2

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? My overall lesson went well with the activities and the examples I used for my lesson. What didn't go well was the timeframe - I thought it would take longer. I suppose it would take longer if I was working with third graders rather than college students, but this was still an issue for me.
• How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained? My objectives and standards were aligned well. It was explained well and maintained in my lesson throughout lesson. 
• Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson. The only modifications I made were adding some more discussion about the graphs and the examples.
2. Mechanics:
• What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)? For the teacher and learner, we used a graphing website to make digital bar graphs aiding in the rest of the lesson about math graphs.
• How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)? The students used computers to use a graphing website to create digital bar graphs with the data they were given by the teacher.
• My lesson was within the correct time frame
• It was short because… the students finished the activity and the assessment questions quicker than I expected. I thought they were more challenging questions, but it is also dependent on the skill level of the student, and since these were college students, they finished much faster than a third grader would.
3. Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning; attached in Blog Phase I
• 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. Based on my assessment, the students achieved success in the standards and objectives for this lesson. They understood graphs and were able to successfully create their own, each making the checklist on my assessment 100%. They included all the elements of a graph when they created their own digitally. They also answered the questions correctly in correspondence with the graphs they created.
• Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson. I felt a high level of success with teaching this lesson.
• How do your individual reflections support this? My individual reflections support this because I met all the guidelines of the lesson and assessment for the lesson. I also reflected upon the lesson time frame which gave me insight on the success of this lesson.
• How do the comments from your classmates support this? My classmates gave me good feedback. They liked my lesson and my incorporation of technology within it. They enjoyed the activity and did not give me much insight on changes I should make to the lesson.
4. 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 there should always be a back up activity for the students if there is extra time left over. In this case, it worked out because my classmate had to teach an extra lesson. But in the classroom, I would have been stuck in a situation with nothing for my students to do. In the future I will use this to be better prepared in case I have extra time at the end of another lesson.
