Reflection on Lesson Implementation 3

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. The timeframe for my lesson ran smoothly and perfectly. I believed my lesson had good elements that worked well together to teach the standard. I felt successful in this lesson.
• How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained? My objectives and standards were aligned well. I followed the objectives and standards. I also explained them to the student. It was explained well and maintained in my lesson throughout lesson. 
• Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson. I added an activity to have students create a list of 10 resources for current events. I felt this was necessary because it gave the students insight on resources they can use, and it taught them how to search for these resources.
2. Mechanics:
• What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)? The teacher used youtube to show an example of a current event. The students used google and news websites, as well as microsoft word to type their summaries and lists.
• How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)? The students used computers to use microsoft word and google.
• My lesson was within the correct time frame. Everything ran according to plan and I finished up the lesson in just enough time.
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. 
  I only had one group member to teach, so there is only artifacts for one student.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 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 all the important parts of a current event and what details to include when researching them and writing a summary. They also understood how to find news resources and use them accordingly.
• 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 felt successful because the timeframe worked out perfectly, as this was not the case with my previous lesson.
• How do the comments from your classmates support this? My classmate gave me good feedback. She told me she enjoyed the lesson. She also liked how I incorporated technology and the activities I had set up for this lesson. She believed my lesson went well. I appreciated her feedback.
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 sometimes, adding a last-minute activity can be a good idea. I was unsure when adding this activity if it would be entirely useful for the students, and I believed it was in the end. I also learned that I should think things a little more throughly when creating a lesson because I should have added the extra activity in my original lesson plan.
