Learning Segment Reflection
After re-watching my learning segment, I realized that the way that my do now was
prosecuted was a little awkward and unorganized. I think that this has to do with having to do
this online, as I planned for my do now to be in person with students working in groups. As I
went on throughout my PowerPoint I saw myself becoming more confident and comfortable
teaching.
At approximately 2:58, I referred back to what a student had said previously. I thought
that this was well done how I was continuing the do now into defining our terms by using what a
student said previously. This made the lesson flow better and it gave recognition to the student.
At about 4:47, I asked students to think back to middle school math class and tell me what the
distributive property was. I thought that this was done well because it relates new concepts to
previous concepts and shows how previous concepts will be used in later math classes. I also
think that all throughout the PowerPoint I changed my voice to emphasize import key concepts
and words, though this was not written on my rubric. I think that it is important for me to realize
that even if I think I’m doing something maybe do it a step up a notch, this applies to changing
the tone of my voice and speaking slower. At 12:37 I gave students a 30 second warning and I
thought that this was good because it allowed for them to finish up any last thoughts. In order to
observe student understanding I asked them to tell me what answers that they came up with
(13:16). I think that this was done well because it let me measure how well my lesson got
through to students and if they understood the concept. I corrected a student and told her where
the error was, and I praised her for the rest of the answer saying that it was awesome otherwise.
At 14:39 I asked students to answer some of our learning goals to conclude the lesson. I think
that this was done exceptionally well because it tied together the beginning of my lesson with the

end and showed students that they were effectively able to answer their learning goals. I believe
that I promoted high level of student participation during my lesson through asking questions and
At about 7:45 I had students work on classwork independently. I thought that this was
done both well but also not that great. Since this lesson was online, I had to sit quietly and let
students work, I could not see what they were doing and could not walk around the room. I think
that this would have been much better if we were in person and I could walk around the room
and gauge their understanding of the material. Instead I just sat there staring at a timer until the
I think that all throughout defining our key terms I went a little fast, I do not even believe
that this is due to the time constraint on this lesson. I thought that this was a good pace but
clearly, I was going a little too fast and should slow it down because some people may not be
able to follow this pace. I think that I could have made the examples for classwork a little more
challenging, instead of just multiplying by a number, maybe I could have given an example with
