Week 4 - Reflection

This week has been a very productive one. I really enjoyed visiting the websites suggested by the course and see that I can use most activities with my students. I learned how to write and integrated lesson plan, that is, writing the objectives of the core subject area and the technology goals for my students. That was my first lesson plan at Google Docs. Sometimes things are there and we do not try them. Despite the fact that my lesson plan was a very simple one, I liked the idea of preparing one with subject and technology objectives.

By the way, I tried to use the activity proposed yesterday with my students. Plan A was taking the students to the lab and do an exercise with pronouns. The librarian told me that only 4 computers (from 12) had internet access. I had 20 students in classroom, so I gave up working with plan A. Plan B was showing and doing at least one activity of the websites proposed in the classroom, so that the students could do the other exercises at home. Unfortunately, there was no internet access in the classroom. Consequently, my option was plan C. Which I did not write in my lesson plan: I passed a list to students write their e-mail addresses and now I am going to send them the links for the activity. I am somehow used to tech problems so I was not frustrated at all.

I hope next week everything will be solved.
