Part 7

I have incorporated group work as an ice breaker for the beginning of the lesson, as a way for students to interact from a distance as well as informing me about themselves. This also leads into the first project, which is at their discretion but I oversee.

I wanted my lesson to be somewhat self directed hence the use of the “web quest” format (my spin on it anyway..). I also wanted to use the traditional testing means of Q&A as I think it shows the level of knowledge and interest the student has. It provides you a slight insight into their psyche.

I wanted more group work and student to student teaching incorporated into this project and lesson time didn’t allow. It would have added another dimension to this project.

I think I ended up being a bit assessment heavy, and not concentrating enough on student interaction and conversation. It would occur very differently in the class compared to the online overview. It feels too condensed and a lot more content could have been incorporated in order to properly explain. Instead of covering many concepts over the lesson, I think I should have concentrated more on one. Giving the students more information and more time for it to sink in.
