Unit Plan Assignment:

!In the beginning of the semester, we were instructed to create a Unit Plan. We all chose a subject

to teach and began working with it. I got good comments on my original effort, but we were told

that as the semester progressed, we would be collecting more and more to add to our Unit Plan.

Now at the end of the semester, I have incorporated every lesson that we have learned about

technology in the classroom, to make my Unit Plan as expanded and enriching as possible.

!I knew that this assignment was going was going to be a large on. Though, I was relieved to see

that we would be working on it all semester. I love the idea of having a place to store and present

all of my projects and creations from this semester. I will be able to look back and see many

different tools I am capable of using in my classroom, and even be able to tell how to use them. I

know that this is definitely a project based learning assignment, while it is very much a critical

thinking one as well, when discussing 21st century education. I have worked very hard on this

assignment, and I actually plan on using it in my career as an educator. I will be able to scroll

something, that is when they are truly learning the most. If I were to redesign this assignment, I

might make less of final assignments overlap, because I found myself uploading the sam

use my hard work in the near future.
