Micro Lesson #2 Phase 2 Reflection

Lesson 2 Phase 2 Reflection

 

 

1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching:

 

I believe everything went the way I anticipated it to go. The learners watched the video (if in a real world first grade classroom, they listened to the teacher read the book) and decided what about the story they liked most. I don't believe anything went wrong at all. The objectives were aligned and maintained well because students were able to listen, speak, read along at some points, and create a visual art using the Paint program appropriately. The only modifications made during the presentation were that the audience working separately whereas in a first grade classroom they are encouraged to work together by discussing the book and their individual pictures.

 

2. Mechanics:

 

The technologies used in this lesson are chromebooks/computers and the Paint program. The teacher used these technologies to demonstrate how to use them. The students used these technologies to create an artifact for assessment. I believe this lesson was within the correct time frame because students were able to access the program and create their artifact for assessment.

 

3. Assessment of Learning:

 

Above is an artifact I received from one of my learners. This learner used the scene from when the pigs were on the school bus. They were able to show they can use different colors. Great job! This learner was able to be successful in achieving the standards and objectives because she showed she could use the mouse (finger) to control the program and demonstrated her knowledge of the toolbar and color boxes. 

 

I believe Robb and I were successful in teaching this lesson because we received appropriate artifacts of student learning.

 

What did you learn from designing and teaching this lesson and how will you use this in the creation of future lessons/learning activities?

 

Procedures are extremely important to have in place for students to be successful and that there is no lost instructional time. All lessons need procedures depending on the materials being used. When it comes to technology safety is the most important to teach all students about. Monitoring is another important factor when teaching because the teacher should want to make sure all students are staying on task. As for the program used in this lesson I believe it can be used for future lessons when the teacher wants to reach the arts standards. Along with art standards other subject areas are reached as well. This is the introductory lesson to the Paint program.
