Appropriate Use of Technology, again 2.2

  1. What steps (categories) did the author use to design their Lesson Plan (eg, Step 1: Learning Objectives; Step 2: Materials)? These were not directly stated, so I would only have to guess. And that is that the learning target would be: I(the student) will be able to understand different techniques (angles and ratios) of discovering how to determine if triangles are similar.
  2. What types of methods and teaching strategies were implementedDirect instruction implementing the use of technology.
  3. Describe any applications of critical thinking or problem solving you observed. He does a great job explaining the triangles and similarity. I feel that this (in the class room) could lead to practice problems that the students could do in pairs.
  4. If you were to teach this same lesson, what might you change about the delivery or example(s) I would not do this lesson on the computer, this seems pointless to me. Using hands on examples of triangles would be better for constructive learning.
  5. If I wanted to do this in my classroom, I would add hands on activities as well (so that they actually have to measure the angles with a protractor). Furthermore I would have practice problems for them to try with their partner (next to them), then go over as a group.
