Summary & Connection
This chapter focuses on technology-based lesson planning and assessments. It talks about how teachers develop and evaluate learning experiences for their students. I am very interested in lesson planning. I feel like it is the backbone to teaching and I have so much I need to learn in order to do one. I am excited about our collaborative lesson plan assignment for this class :)
Lesson planning is definitely enhanced with technology - it definitely is the foundation for day to day use and takes awhile to get the hang of creating successful ones, but you'll get plenty of practice! :)
