Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9):
A lot went well in this lesson, the students were
engaged the entire time and they learned the material very well. With the
online game they actually went farther than we did in the actual lesson. This
was one of the things that didn’t go as well, the game introduced so terms that
we hadn’t gone over in the lesson because they weren’t in the first grade standards.
Other than this slight detail the alignment to the standards was maintained
very well. The modification I made during the lesson was ending the online game
at the level before it started introducing the terms we had not discussed.
Mechanics:
The technologies that I used was an online clock
manipulative at the beginning of the lesson to introduce the main concepts and
then I used an online game about telling time to use as a mini assessment. The
technologies were used by myself and by my students. My lesson was in the
correct time frame because I slowed down my teaching and gave my students more
time to practice. We also used more time at the end of the lesson to review the
terms.
What did you learn from designing and teaching this lesson and how
will you use this in the creation of future lessons/learning activities.
I learned that time can be a really difficult
concept to explain to younger student but that if you explain it correctly they
will start to understand it. One thing I will change is using more time at the beginning
to really go over the important concepts. I will also give more time for the
lesson and more time for individual and group practice.
