Reflection: This was an awesome lesson. I loved the lesson and could really tell that my students learned how to adequately use the technology. It was great for them to be able to make a product that they could print out and use for notes in their notebook. I would keep this lesson the same if I were to do it again. I do wish that I had more computers in my classroom so that the activity could be completed faster.
