I found this lesson to be a really relaxing and enjoyable experience. I went in with nothing but a piece of string; I had no notes to rely on and I felt more confident than I had before any other presentation or teaching experience, which was interesting and surprising to me. The lesson went well, included a mix of history, applications and technology as well as theory, and I didn't forget anything!
The feedback we received was, on the whole, very positive. The major concern that people had was that there was not enough time for the peer lessons and many would have preferred to learn all the mini lessons first-hand. There seemed to be a general feeling of being left out. I thus propose the following changes: Firstly, more time would be allowed at each station. Secondly, each student would rotate through all three stations, I would thus change the work to be done in the triads. Each triad member would take turns to share three things they learned during the lesson with their two peers, each student must share different things than already mentioned by their peers.
This was a successful lesson which, with some modifications, I would definitely use in my future classroom.
