Looking at the mistakes that I make and how to analyze them so that I won't revisit those mistakes will help me going forward. I will take better notes in my lesson plan to see what benefited me and the students and make the proper adjustments going forward.

This lesson has given me insight on how to deal with the angry, questioning student. I will implement the strategies learned to help care for 2 students that are very angry in my class.

The section on the polished apple was most interesting to me. I never thought of how they could manipulate first time teachers. I am guarded by industry but not by students. I have to keep my guard up.

My biggest take away so far is the activity where you use tools and math them to how they are used in the industry. Another take away is the icebreaker where you make the airplane and the top  three people that go the distance becomes team captains. Grouping off the rest of the class to make their design fly like their successors, I think is a really great idea to get the class started and I will implement  this upcoming semester. 

I learned what each technique  is used to measure levels of mastery of information with your students. 

I need to take time to prepare questions to include in the lessons. Also, give more time for students to answer questions when I ask a question about the lesson.

Flipped classroom was very interesting to me. I will challenge my self to see how I can implemet this with labs. Another topic that was interesting was students like control of choices. I now see how this can be beneficial to students getting more accomplished and higher grades

The biggest take away that I have from this lesson is the closing activity is just as important as the opening activity. I didn't think bout how it could conclude ant recapture the objectives as another way to reinforce the day's lesson and also set the tone of excitement for the next days lesson.
