OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:

The lesson was enjoyable for the students because of the use of the projector and smart board.
The students were very well engaged as they answered the narrator’s questions even though it
was a video. Many of them remembered the fruits and the vegetables that they had watched from
the video. Even when the teacher drew them on the board they were quick to identify which was
a vegetable and which one was a fruit.

I would say the use of technology helped the students pay attention to the topic of the day by
enhancing the form of learning. The lesson was well carried out and the teacher was well
prepared for it.
