Week 11 Reflection

This last week was a bit hectic for me all around and now thinking back on it I don't remember it in too much detail. I do remember that I was intrigued by the phase idea of lesson planning when we talked about it on monday. I think that putting a long project in phases can help break up what my seem like an impossible task for the students and a lot of work for the teacher. I like how Elola and Oskoz wrote some examples of phased activities into their article because it gives a good starting point for any teacher who may want to try this kind of approach in their own classrooms. The phases can help students not feel overwhelmed by a larger class project than they are used to and it also eases them in to using the technology and gets them familiar with how they will use the technology before they  have to use it on their own. I would use this kind of lesson planning in my future classes if I wanted a long and more in-depth project created by my students because I feel like this type of planning would help me handle the students early confusion more adeptly as well as help the students cover the large amounts of material they would need to be familiar with to complete their own assignments.
