Assignment Two

             For assignment two, I was instructed to create a wiki, using wikispaces, and develop a lesson plan of my choice according to the grave level I wish to teach.  Since I want to become an elementary teacher, I chose to make a lesson plan on math for third graders.  I found this assignment to be particularly challenging.  I still do not think I completed it correctly since the assignment was to connect a page to the original and to link the professor’s account to mine.  Although I tried several times to do this task, I couldn’t seem to grasp what I needed to do.

                My obstacles centered on my confusion.  I wasn’t sure if I was doing it correctly.  I made the lesson plan and was able to put it up on wikispaces successfully, but then failed to link another page to it.  This assignment reflected on my objective to be on top of my work which I failed to do.  I did try to figure it out but I couldn’t in the end. This is definitely something I need to work on.
               The benefits of this assignment was understanding how to make a wiki and successfully uploading a lesson plan on to it.  Having a wiki is something I see myself using, especially to communicate with parents and upload what was done every day in class.  It’s a useful tool that I’m glad I am learning about now. Although I am learning about this new form of technology, I am not at the level I need to be to successfully use it.  I think eventually I’ll be able to grasp this technology.
