Our final lesson turned out pretty good. My partners and I were really worried about how well we going to be able to execute the objectives and assessments because it was difficult to be availabe for each other. However, we kept in touch via emails, sms texts, and Facebook and got the job done. I think our lesson plan was done exactly as it was written and the most important thing I think Dr. Luongo was trying to teach us was...Be prepared for the worst that can happen in a classroom, always have plan #2, 3, 4 ready, and practice, practice, practice! I learned that there are a whole bunch of ways to teach your students, you have to have patience, and love what you are doing.
What I would have done differently, that would made the lesson more effective would being able to meet and talk to my parnters more. Growing up, I always done group projects on my own even though there were classmates available. Working together allowed me to see many other options and it gives groups a bigger opportunity window.
Podcasting is really fun, only when you know exactly what you're doing. LOL. My partners and I used our podcast towards the middle of our lesson. I think it went well, students were able to follow along. But then you get the ones that don't really follow, so as a teacher you have to get them back on track! We could have added music or pictures to our podcast to grap more of the students attention. I would use this idea in my future lessons.
