Reflection
 * 1) For this assignment I decided to do a lesson plan on the food pyramid. It takes you through each category in the pyramid and has an activity to do for each food group with answers linked to the bottom of the page. The age group for this lesson would be 2nd-4th grade. In this plan you are teaching kids problem solving as well as reading strategies with little tests at the end.
 * 2) I definitely met the standards. I did all that was required and learned how to integrate technology in the classroom. This was a very beneficial assignment to me!
 * 3) This was a hard assignment for me. At first, my mac wouldn’t even run the program and I had to find a different computer to use. Then, I was confused while using the program and understanding how everything worked. It was very overwhelming all of the things you’re capable of doing on this program. Now that I finished, I think it is a great program as long as you know how to use it and it can be very effective in the classroom.
 * 4) I want to use this for a lot of different activities. I think it would be great when dealing with math problems. The students would be able to come up to the board, write out how they came about the answer and then flip to the next page and see the right way to do the problem. In doing the pre planning it would save a lot of class time and give students more practice time.
 * 5) I would say I am moderate at this program. Doing this assignment helped me become familiar with the program and I could create a whole lesson, but there is still a lot I could learn and look forward to doing. I definitely will use this program when I become a teacher.
