This is a lab that I went in to thinking it would be a challenge, and it
kind of was. It required more preparation than the previous labs, and
ag. mechanics isn't exactly my strongest facet of agriculture. I wanted
to do something that did not require a lot of equipment after lugging
around that blender and portable blender for my interest approach lab,
so I chose electrical wiring. I wanted to demonstrate how to wire a
single outlet -- pretty basic.
As I was demonstrating, I felt like the lab was going well. I just felt
like there was a lot of time during when the students were wiring that
could have been used better. Also when the first group of students was
wiring during the passing exercise, the other students were sitting
there not engaged. This is something that I should have considered
before I planned that activity.
I keep forgetting to make my objectives visible. This is something that I
WILL do during the technology lab. The feedback I got also said I was
not enthusiastic, which from watching my video I can see now. At the
time I didn't even think of it but I just disappointed myself.
Another thing I forgot was my job operation sheet. This was from a lack of preparation.
All in all, my skills need much improvement. I need to plan better,
write better lesson plans, and eliminate the time that my students are
not engaged. Hopefully these will come with practice. Feedback
appreciated.
