REFLECTION: This lesson takes place during our writing time at the end of a unit. I was surprised at
the amount of time that it took students to type and format their papers. Fortunately, we were able to
squeeze extra time at the lab for this particular lesson but in the future I will plan to spend more time
there. It took a few days of going to the lab in order for students to complete their writing and print.
Due to sharing the lab with the entire school, we dont have as much time as I would like to use the lab.
I wish that we had more accessibility to technology because I would like to incorporate it more but I
feel giving them the few days to be able to actually use the computers and use flash drives gave them a
scene of responsibility and experience using technology. I will use computers in my own classroom and
hope to have more access to technology in the future.
