My lesson shows an example of teacher creativity by incorporating different options for technology use into the lesson. This shows creativity because I am creating new ways for the students to be able to engage in the content that is being taught. My decisions made in the process of this lesson show an example of a teacher as a designer because I was able to design learning opportunities for my students that aren't typical learning opportunities that they've had in the past. I am able to design an opportunity for them to take ownership of their learning by making on a choice on how they want to show their learning and to be creative in demonstrating their knowledge of the standard. My lesson is Novel in that it is a different opportunity for the students to show their learning that they may not have had in past classes. My lesson is Effective in that the students are able to experience different strategies with the content to help them be able to master the standard and learning goals. My lesson is Whole in that it moves from being teacher-centered to student-centered while also giving them more creative ability in how they show their learning as the lesson progresses.
