Sustainable Unit Overview Presentation
A few of the bigger and more important considerations for my group and I were to ensure that our unit and lessons connected, were relevant to the 21st century, and that the students were experiencing a plethora of learning through various medias and hands-on experiences. One of the biggest "aha" moments I had while collaboratively creating this unit was how I would ensure that I was able to successfully monitor students' learning, as well as how could I give students an opportunity to monitor and see their own learning and understandings grow. This was something that I felt was crucial and critical to include within our unit, and so we created the concept of students tracking their learning and new understandings through a digital timeline. This was an important area to ensure we included in the unit because it gives students a digital aspect to their learning/understandings, and allows them to track growth and reflect on their growth and understandings.
Overall, I think this was a great experience and has prepared me quite a bit for my own TLCP and own collaborative inquiry units. Through collaborating with my fellow peers, I learned the insights of other teacher candidates and considerations that they considered and thought about when planning their designated lessons. Through this new insight, I have a larger span of knowledge and a better idea of more concepts and things that I will consider and look at when planning my future units for my classes.
