Our Heroes From the Past

• The purpose of this lesson is to expose student
  to heroes of color which are also part of our
  U.S. History. This lesson is specifically about
  Cesar Chavez and the United Farmworkers It
  addresses the role they had in achieving better
  working conditions and human rights for
  farmorkers.

Expectations

• From the class I expected to learn computer
  skills which I could apply immediately in the
  classroom.
• I expected the information be provided in a
  concise, organized and logical sequence.
• I expected my communication with CTAP to be more
  user friendly.
• I expected to be able to read my way through
  step by step instructions and achieve success.
• I expected to expand my knowledge of computer
  technology, specifically to create a website.

What I Learned

• It is difficult to make a website.
• That nothing is done the same way twice.
• It is very helpful to work in a group on a
  project instead of alone.

5
Success

• I completed the assignment of creating a website.
• I was forced to focus on one particular lesson.
• I created an interest in my students to utilize
  the computer as a resource.

6
Shortcomings

• I began the program confident that I was computer
  literate and am leaving feeling like a novice.
• I never internalized the steps necessary to work
  independently on the project.
• I didnt have a clear picture of the process
  before beginning the project.

Reflections and Revisions

• Observing the students and evaluating the
  experiences they had with this unit, I would
  increase the number of websites available to them
  on the subject, allow for pre experience
  downloading information and pictures. I would
  also spend more time on vocabulary specifically
  related to the topic.

Conclusion

• The most valuable experience I had was working
  with fellow teachers. We traveled together on
  this unknown journey. We made mistakes together,
  supported each other, and discovered that we were
  all capable of meeting the challenge placed
  before us.
