Ben-Final Reflection

I think that everything went well during our teach in. One good thing were are students, who were very respectful, and another thing that went well was our power point. In the past we were having problems getting the videos to work with our power point, but at the last minute we figured out how to do this, and that really saved the day. I didn’t really feel anything special as a ‘teacher.’ To me it felt a lot like giving a report or the recent science presentations we did. If I could do anything over, I guess i would have had more videos of the interviews and less power point and random speaking. A lot of good footage we took during our visit had to be omitted due to time, which was taken up by what I felt was unnecessary review. Also the computer we used had an issue with the speakers we were using, so the most important interview in my opinion, had to be dropped because it was not compatible with our speakers.

The effects of this project will last forever with me. Our trip to PS 335 became one of the most important eye-opening events of my life. I learned something firsthand, I saw the problem through my eyes, not someone else’s. I felt so many emotions its hard  for me to put them all down. I will always remember this project, and the brave students and faculty of PS 335 and many other schools in New York City all throughout the country.

We had a skecthy start with our set up group, but it ended well and we reached our objective. I enjoyed the lead in, and the attention we were given.
