Hungerford's Lesson Reflection

Today we watched a video of a lesson in a business class using computers. It involved net worth, capital revenue, etc. I believed that Hungerford had many different good qualities in his lesson. He went over the directions while the students were doing the project that way he could help them as he went along. He was able to go to the students who were having trouble and point out what they had to do, what they had to click on, etc. Another great quality was that he asked the questions and gave them time to respond. Many teachers if they ask questions they usually do not wait long enough. This easy strategy was able to get the students involved while allowing them to show what they know.  After asking the questions, he would either ask for examples or he would provide examples which would then allow for the students some real-life situations.


In a business, people need to know how to use many different types of software and programs. Hungerford used many different types of technology. He had his students use a program that helped show the business type of information (net worth, capital revenue, etc) needed and was able to create their own "business."  Also, they were able to upload their project to the web and use excel spreadsheets. Most people do not know how to do these types of tasks.
