Photo Sharing and Chapter 2 Reflection

If I used photo sharing at school it would be only me and possibly parents or administrators doing the sharing. Pictures of field trips or projects in each stage of completion could be posted and shared with parents and the rest of the school. My first and second graders are too young for this by themselves.

The process desctibed in Chapter 2 of the Trends and Issues book follow exactly how I was taught to develop a lesson plan. What do you want to teach, what outcome do you desire, what learning styles are you addressing, what differentiation are you facing, write measureable objectives, how are you going to assess, select instructional materials, plan the lesson, evaluate the students and self reflect, revise. Nothing surprising, usefull - yes, however, very time consuming, particularly for me. I get caught up in the details.
