Lesson Analysis & Assessment


 * Reflection

What was I supposed to accomplish and how? ** In this assignment, I was supposed to find a lesson that involved technology and evaluate it based on certain criteria set forth by the instructor. I accomplished this task by first finding a lesson that interested me and was appropriate for the grade level I would like to teach. I made sure the lesson plan incorporate technology in some way. Next, I evaluated the lesson plan based on the criteria and determined what changes I would make to the lesson plan if I were teaching it myself. What did I learn (growth/progress)? ** I learned how to evaluate lesson plans in this lesson. I learned that there are many different criteria that should be considered while evaluating and critiquing lesson plans. I learned that sometimes lessons found online have to be tweaked in order to meet one's individual needs or the needs of the classroom.

The only thing I could think of that I may have done differently in this assignment would be to choose a different lesson plan. Although I liked the lesson plan I chose, I would have liked to choose one that was not as "good" as the one I chose. There were not many things that needed changing or revising in the plan I chose. It would have been interesting to evaluate a lesson plan that was not quite up to par, in order to see what type of mistakes people make when writing plans.
 * What should I have done differently? **

This artifact is important because it helped me to learn how to evaluate and change lesson plans. It helped me to evaluate my own lesson plans more carefully.
 * Why is this artifact important to my targeted career? **
