Lesson overview - TPCK

Using the TPCK model and looking back on my presentation I feel that the content knowledge covered was well within the students level of knowledge and a lot of it would be easy to learn because we would use it during the presentation and it would help them get a better understanding of it. Another great thing about the subject matter is its easy for them to grasp because they themselves are part of a food web as well which helps make the lesson more connected to them in their minds. I think with my lesson being hands on and allowing them to work together to create their own food webs it allowed me as a teacher to be a part of the lesson but for them to kinda learn from one another as well. Also with the homework being a similar food web that has them all linked allows the students to see each others work and get a stronger knowledge of where a person may fall in a food web. While the site I used as the main technology portion of my presentation is usually used in a work setting it provides a good basis to use in a classroom as well in many capacities. One thing that I think I could have done better in my lesson was provide a hands on portion as well, I think my lesson may have been a little to heavily technology based. Also the website Cacoo is not as intuitive as other ones that are used in classes so it may limit the grades that this lesson could be used for.
