A Mission Accomplished

The process of creating a multimedia lesson plan was a bit of a frustration. Although we weren’t limited to a certain subject area, I was indefinite of where I wanted to go with my lesson. I found myself jumping from one subject to another and starting over and over again.However, as ideas came to mind, my lesson plan became clearer and I was able to produce a lesson that I thought would be interesting. I found this lesson to be easier than the first since I am already familiar with using the ASSURE model (1996). In fact, the ASSURE model assisted me in laying out my thoughts.


In completing my multimedia assignment, I learned how create a web page. I found it to be beneficial since it is a great way to share sources. The main standard that applied to completing this assignment according to the National Education Technology Standards for teachers is NETS-T.1.B, “demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies” (ISTE NETS).Creating a multimedia media lesson plan appropriate for 4th grade students was good experience. I do not think I would revise it to make it more challenging. I think children would really enjoy learning using technology. However, I would probably revise my lesson to make it more understanding for my fourth grade students. I enjoyed creating my first multimedia lesson plan. I liked that we did not have limitations. Learning how to create a web page was interesting as well.
