Teacher Reflection (My Healthy Meal Scenario Project):

Most students reported that they had a lot of fun with this project and liked most everything about it. Planning the meal with “google slides” was a hit and making the meal at home was enjoyable for the majority of the students.  The students who did not enjoy portions of the project, are the ones who found the technology parts to be confusing and needed more assistance from the teacher or other students to get the project done.  They felt rushed and like they did not have enough time to complete assignments.  We did discover that Padlet does not work well when many people are trying to add information at the same time, it gets a little bouncy and makes it difficult to add your information so another resource for this part of the project might work better.  Only one of my classes did their reflection using Schoology, the others on paper because the students asked for paper instead; so I thought it would be good to compare both options.  The students reported no preference for which way they enjoyed reflecting more (paper or Schoology Discussion).
