Lesson Plan Presentations

The lessons plans that were presented in class were all very good. I am going to choose a few of them to write about. I loved the presentation on The Watsons Go to Burmingham, this book is a book that I read when I weas in the seventh grade and the way that this group taught it , but using internet to do a quick search, but also using real hands on projects to sum it up was a great idea. I feel like if that lesson were taught to a group of high school students it would be very beneficial. I also enjoyed the lesson on website design. Although I was not the most cooperative I think that this lesson is something that if taught like our "teachers" taught us can be helpful to a student later in life. The lesson on the symbolism of Romeo and Juliet was a very well thought out lesson. Using things that are common in real life, the "teachers' were able to show the symbolism as well as the difference in time in history. Overall I really enjoyed all of the lessons; even those few who strayed from a lesson had really good points as to why they would teach that lesson. And CK is cool.

Voice Threads

I do not feel like I will use voice threads in my classroom. i can see how it would be beneficial to some classrooms, maybe speech, but i do not feel it is useful in every classroom. Voice thread utilizes several really cool technologies but I just do not feel like i will use it.
