TIE Plan Reflection

The students really liked this activity.  They were able to be creative about thier own stories and then play with their friends story as well.  They really got a kick out of watching what other people were changing in their stories from where they were sitting and on their own screen.  They thought that was really cool.  A few of them began messing with other students once they figured out how it worked.  One student would finish typing a sentence and another would delete it.  I was impressed that they just laughed about it.  The lesson ended up taking three days of 45 minutes of instruction.  I was suprised at how slow most of them typed.  Many of them did not know where the punctuation keys were or how many spaces go between words.  Overall, I am pleased with their presentation and even more pleased that they keep asking if they can do another one soon.  I recommend this program for classroom use because the kids really enjoyed it.  I think it could be really useful in things like reading responses or editing lessons.
