What:
This past week in field was spent teaching our 5 lesson plans to the 4th graders at Park View Elementary. This class is very social and I have learned alot!! One of the lessons was to take the students to the computer lab. During this time they were to follow instructions on their handout to take them to a specific website which tells more about government explorers (Kit Carson, John W. Powell, John Stansbury, Capt. Bonneville, etc.) Each student had been assigned a specific explorer and to become an expert on them.
So What:
I liked that the students were able to do research online in a protected setting. I hope it was liberating for them to know there is so much information available at their fingertips. We had a few not follow directions or computer login problems but that was to be expected. All in all I felt this particular lesson was a positive experience and very memorable.
Now What:
I want my future students to feel comfortable and be well informed about how to use the internet in a beneficial way to learn . We need to keep up with the times.
