 * What was I supposed to accomplish and how?**

I was to create a lesson plan that required the students to use technology to complete unit of study and assessment. I chose the First Crusade as the subject matter and gave students the option of making a podcast or web movie. I also used Inspiration to craft a mind map.


 * What did I learn (growth/progress)?**

Inspiration is fabulous and extremely user friendly. I also learned that my students thrive on using technology and that I should have incorporated it more fully years ago. I will do so in the future.


 * What shold I have done differently?**

I am pleased with the finished product, though for my own students I should have had them use Inspiration too for planning their work.


 * Why is this artifact important to my targeted career?**

Once again, the utility and organization that technology can inject into teaching and learning is just as important as the "wow" factor that gets kids interested.
