Confusion:
This is the second class and third experience with UbD lesson planning. However, this has been by far the most difficult time I’ve had with it. I feel like many ideas I have had or thoughts aren’t clearly expressed in my UbD so I’m working around clarification. A main component of this is time. I have had a very limited amount of time to put towards this class so in turn, my products reflect that. But this leads me to my celebration! Celebration: I get to celebrate the fact that I am completing this Master’s course while maintaining a full time teaching job, two other classes, and implementing two large grants. Another celebration is getting a MUCH better idea of UbD and understanding my strengths and weaknesses. I realize that I have all these great ideas and a dozen different ways my lesson can go. However, I seem to get lost in my lesson and need to continuously reflect back on, “what is the goal of this lesson?” Knowing that this is a common weakness of mine will help me in all my lesson planning in the future--- keep the outcome in mind! Interest: Presenting my unit was an interesting experience. I first submitted a lesson that, well, was rather boring and dry. The minimum requirements were met. And then I explored other people’s presentation of their UbD and felt really inspired to create a more appealing presentation. This also made me a lot more interested in exploring screen-cast-omatic and prezi for future classes.
