My personal planning for fieldwork required a lot of practice. Each night before fieldwork I would re-read the lesson plan several times and practice what I had to teach. This helped me gain the ability of comfort in front of the class. Since I knew what I had to teach, I was able to relax and stay calm. For instance, I had a strong loud voice and I did not shake or have any nervous reactions. My teaching collaboration was not the best that it could be because of the planning of the lesson plans. Some of my group members did not allow me to have an input in some of the lessons. Most of the time the lesson plans were already complete before I had the time to work on it because I was in class. Besides this everything else worked out nicely. We were able to talk to each other about everything and be on the same page while we were in the classroom teaching. This was the most important part, for the reason that teachers who work collaboratively together will have an effective classroom. When we were running out of time during the lesson plans, information had to be cut out in order to complete the lessons. All that one of us had to do was make eye contact with the rest of the group and we knew that things had to be cut out of our lesson.
I contributed a lot to my fieldwork group and lesson plans. Although, as I stated before I might not have had much say in writing the lesson plan, but I did help in every possible aspect. I helped create the idea of using the Ipad for the QR reader lesson. I also helped with writing the lessons and creating the PowerPoint’s. I printed and laminated the double-sided flags and the picture with titles for the timelines, as well as providing the poster boards and Velcro. The student’s graphic organizer To help my group be successful during fieldwork I videotaped every session for us to learn what teaching skills can individually be improved. All six of the videos were uploaded to YouTube and then sent to all of my group members. I did everything that my group needed done. I prepared our group for fieldwork by having everything organized, printed and ready to go.
My learning outcomes from this fieldwork experience include the importance of using technology in the lesson plan.The students
