In chapter 4, lesson planning is mentioned. I liked the part
about using technology in a lesson plan. For many reasons, this is a good idea.
Videos could be used in order to gain the students’ attention. This could be a
vital part of the lesson, because this will determine how the lesson will go.
If the students enjoy the video, then they may pay more attention during the
lesson. Also, TrackStar is a good site to be used when planning a lesson. Along
with its students learning objectives, it also offers models and examples of
what can be used in a classroom.
In chapter 9, PowerPoints are discussed. Many teachers use
PowerPoints in the classroom, but may not know an effective way that they can
be incorporated. In PowerPoint, pictures can be shown for students to discuss
on. This may happen when a lesson is being taught. An image in the PowerPoint
may break up the lesson a bit. This can allow students to discuss on a similar
topic and it can also help them by not staring at words on a PowerPoint all
day. Slides can be used for gaining a student’s attention as well. PowerPoint
can be used for many things in the classroom and can be very effective if it is
used right.Assessments in the classroom are very important. Whether it is teacher assessments or student assessments, they are vital in having a comfortable, educational classroom. Teacher assessments can be anything from having an observer to taking tests. This allows the teacher to become the best teacher that they can be. Student assessments allow the students to know how they are doing in the class. Teachers must monitor the students throughout the whole year, which helps to tell how much knowledge the student gained that year. Self-assessments for students are great because it gives them a chance to be involved in the evaluation process. Assessments in the classroom can help both the teachers and students be the best that they can be.
