Reflection

In our school, we teach social studies one day and science the next.  Whenever possible, I try to teach more than one content area in a lesson.  Communities are started in a certain location for a reason.  Depending on the type community changes their way of life.  Weather affects people’s lives daily.  When a natural disaster occurs their life is drastically changed.  I want the students to understand how weather and storm change people’s lives and how people overcome the destruction of the storm.  Throughout this unit, the students are using multiple programs of technology to learn and present their knowledge.  Presenting their knowledge allows the students to hear information in their terms and for the students presenting to take pride in their worik and want to present the correct information allowing deeper learning.

When writing lesson plans, I am more focused on the technology.  The students should learn to teach themselves information and technology is a good resource for information.  There are many different programs to teach the same thing which allows all types of learners to learn.  I will try to use technology in every section of the lesson.
