Lesson Planning



Pleasanton History

Lesson Plan Reflection

Hi all! After completing my lesson plan I gained some insight about how creating an engaging lesson plan is the most important part of the lesson you are about to teach! Standing in the front of a classroom and lecturing your students will not give them a drive to learn. Lesson plans need to be full of fun and captivating activities that allow students to want to constantly learn more about what you are teaching. My chosen lesson plan included a link to Google Maps so that I could gain a visual understanding of the Pleasanton area. This made be become more connected to what I was learning because I was able to actually see the region and it's beautiful territory!

My name is Lia, so for the letter "L," I put loving, for the letter "I," I put imaginative, and for the letter "A," I put adventurous! This was such a fun activity to begin the class! Find picture of my "About Me" slide below. Next, we began to discuss how technology will impact our futures as teachers. Coming from a Gen Z, I definitely believe that I am pretty up to date on the technology that is used today, but in the future we will have so much more different technology that I might not know about that my future students do. My group and I discussed teaching the digital generation; more specifically the 9 elements of digital citizenship and some characteristics of Gen Alpha. Find a link to the slideshow we created a...
