8. Teacher Reflection-
Students commented they enjoyed the assignments and would like an opportunity to work again on Kidspiration. Many assignments weren't finished. Students don't have access to their files except here at school. I would need to give them more time to complete the assignment, maybe another day. Some students just messed with changing colors and moving things around, not really putting anything of content into the assignment. Students didn't use this time to really review properly. I will have to tweak the lesson for next time to allow for those slower students.
