I made a mistake when I first submitted my lesson. I thought it was only supposed to be one slide (or one activity). After reviewing a few of my peers IWB lesson, I realized my error and spent time to correct it. While my lesson has yet to be reviewed and given corrections, I am proud of the work I did. It was my first time ever having to use Smart Notebook so it took a little exploration to understand what you can do. I'm know there's much more I'm able to do using Smart Notebook software... I just haven't discovered it yet. I also had to search around for material to use within my lesson.
I think doing a lesson like this and having it critiqued just goes to show that teaching is a continuum; it's never over. You can always do something to improve your teaching. It's important to be open to what people are telling you; some people might be completely wrong with the advice their giving, while others might be dead on. Sharing your lesson is almost like collaborating with others, making the end result even better. They might have an idea for your lesson that you never would've even thought of. Students deserve to have the very best educators, and sometimes in order to be our best, we could use a little help.
