What technologies did I use?
-During the verbal (teaching) portion of my lesson, I did not use any technologies for myself. The students, however, worked quite a bit on the iMac computers and the Internet, where they explored different websites and interactive activities, mainly on the NASA website. In addition, students created Glog pages (a hybrid, of sorts, of a blog and a Powerpoint presentation) where they used the information they researched and placed it into a customizable blog page that acted as a presentation.
How were the technologies used?
-Again, technologies were primarily used by the students in the classroom, using computer and games that were found online, exploring the specific websites provided by the instructor in order to get a better, initial understanding of space and the solar system. After, students used Glogster and were expected to present the information that they learned in the form of a Glog. While doing their project, I did give them the option of exploring other, unspecified - but reliable! - websites to obtain more information to put on their Glog page.
Time Frame?
-My lesson was within the correct time frame, as I did not necessarily plan a lesson to go to the last minute of class. Instead, I planned all instruction to be towards the beginning, mainly because I wanted my students to have enough time to create their Glog pages. However, by doing this, I think that I was able to stay within my lesson time frame of one hour.
