class 2

I enjoyed seeing the lesson plan, I heard teachers during my practicum discussing how long it took them to set up a successful search lesson that keeps all the students involved. I think it will be helpful to have a plan laid out as I organize a lesson. It would be really helpful to find ready made plans that can be adapted to the class curriculum.

I liked the smart board discussion, it was very interesting. I think the more a person has access to a smart board the more they will be able to do with it. She made great use of the different manipulatives available. Smartboards can bring dimension to a lesson. They can be a distration when someone isn't comfortable using them. I wasn't very successful at writing on one the first time I used the pen.

The discussion about what other technology can be used when the one being used goes down was helpful. It changed my planning so now I will think of a plan B other than calling the tech department.
