Before creating this lesson, I spent some time looking at the pictures and templates that were available for the Smartboard. I also played with some of the capabilities Smartboard has to offer. I enjoyed coming up with the different pages and just kept adding more pages with different things the students have to do that use the SmartBoard's Capabilities. After getting feedback from my peers, I made some changes and added a few word problems. This lesson is one that you could keep adding to and making more changes. I feel I spent a significant amount of time on preparing this interactive lesson. A lot of the time I spent was trying different things to see what I could do with them and working on getting things grouped together. Once I figured out the basics and a few tricks, creating the lesson went pretty quickly.
By designing and sharing my IWB lesson, I learned a lot about how to design a lesson using the Smart technology and the capabilities the SmartBoard has to offer. I learned how easy and fast you can design a lesson once you know what you are doing, but also how time consuming it can be if you let it. A few times I started working on it and lost track of time because of everything you are able to do with this. By having my peers look at and provide feedback on my lesson, I have learned how much it can help to have someone review something for you because they will catch mistakes, may interpret something differently than me and may come up with new ideas that I did not think of that would add to my lesson. I also think that by having my peers review my lesson, I am learning how to take constructive feedback better and also evaluate their ideas and if that is something that I really want to do or if I did not do that on purpose for a specific reason.
