The Lesson

My Google Docs Lesson went a lot better than I expected it to. The lesson as I mentioned before was about the food chain process and the students had to work in groups to figure out different food chains and then they would each type their answers and unanswered questions in each group. Thankfully, the teacher already had the class separated into four groups and the students named their own teams, so the teams are The Lakers, The Eagles, The Steelers, and The Packers. As they worked in teams, I was surprised to see that some did not work well in teams, but they eventually got the hang of it. The Google Docs part went well because they each had to type in a part of the food chain and then they each typed in one of their higher order thinking questions, which they call at this school, an unanswered question. I was able to immediately tell that they struggled with the typing and even knowing some of the basic computer skills. Apparently, they do educational games on the computer, but they do not usually do much typing. The students were really excited to work on the computers and I was happy to see that they each accomplished their part of the assignment. Overall, it was a good lesson, but I do think that the students need more practice and teaching of how to use a computer or even some basic computer skills, so that they can have a better understanding of a lesson that incorporates using a computer.

Thinking about my Google Docs Lesson

I'm a bit nervous about this lesson because I'm not that great with technology, so I'm praying that I am able to explain everything well. The good part is that my lesson is science and teaching the food chain, so I think it will be fun a fun lesson for the students! On their group work, they will put a food chain in order and then they will answer a higher-thinking question and will answer all of that on a worksheet. will each be typing a part of the food chain on Google Docs and typing an unanswered question, which they always have tons to ask. I've been thinking a lot about this lesson and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes!
