- Using play-dough took longer than I anticipated.
- Although my students were familiar with technology, they do need a decent amount of time to complete the presentation.
- I should probably spend more time introducing the new technology, especially since edu.glogster.com is very new.
How alignment to goals and objectives was maintained
The objective for this lesson was to learn about one of the planets, and later to learn about all of the planets in our solar system, which aligns with a state science objective. The solar system with clay activity was super beneficial and sparked a lot of discussion about the planets. We got to see how they compared to each other, talked about what materials they can be made of, discussed the qualifications needed to be a planet and much more. If I had given sufficient time to complete the blog presentations, this would have been another great way to move towards our goal. Unfortunately, I ran out of time, so the glogs are half-made and only contain some of the information needed in quest to meet our objective.
Modifications made for individual needs
Since I was teaching college students a fifth-grade lesson, I had to include extra discussion to keep them engaged. I also walked around as the students were working on their glogs and helped them with any problems that arose. I also allowed them to choose the planet they wanted to research, which sparked a personal interest in the investigation.
