Artifact




Reflection
//**What was I supposed to accomplish and how?**// For this lesson plan, I was to select a new computer program to learn and use on my own and incorporate it into a lesson plan that students could either use by themselves or I could use for them. I also created a lesson plan document to go along with the lesson. I chose to make a lesson about graphing and use the "InspireData" program to create visuals for my class to see.

//**What did I learn (growth/progress)?**// I learned a lot from the precess of using a new computer program by myself with out any direction from my teacher. This activity was the hardest over all for me to accomplish in this class because I felt like I was lost and frustrated the entire time. Even though I used the help guide that InspireData provided, it was still difficult because I didn't have a step by step instructional video on how to create this. I eventually got through this lesson though and did the best I could to create a lesson I think I would use in my future classroom.

//**What should I have done differently?**// Looking back I think I could have read the directions a little more clear the first time. This would have helped me to not get so overwhelmed and possibly help me understand the program further.

//**Why is this artifact important to my targeted career?**// This activity is important to my future teaching career because it is yet another technology based program that I can actually see myself using often. Its nice to now that if someone asks me if I know how to use this program, or other programs I have learned from this class, I can say yes and possibly help others learn this programs.
