Quote of the week

"The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think--rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men."

Tech lesson plan critique

As we looked at lesson plans this week I thought about how I wished I had this type of time and could review every lesson plan as thoroughly as I reviewed these. In looking at the one I reviewed I looked at the objectives that would be met and what technology I would be using. It was evident to me that this plan was very good and would accomplish many teaching points that need to be accomplished. As I read other lesson plan reviews from members of my group I also was very interested at how they chose and critiqued their lesson plans. I thought the number of topics that were intergrated in these lessons where amazing. When teachers complain that there is not enough time to teach everything then I can't help but think about these lesson plans were several objectives are being covered at one time which saves teachers time. I think teachers are going to have to think about lessons and the objectives that are covered. There is hardly a time that I think one objective should be covered in a lesson...we need to intergrate many objectives. I also thought the websites that were given to us were wonderful sources for lesson plans. I had used the Alex one before but not the others...they are great!
