Students will have an opportunity at the end of class to discuss the advantages and disadvantages to discuss their experience. The teacher will remain a "fly on the wall" as to note observations to share with what he saw. Students will be encouraged to continue the discussion on Edmodo. ||

 * Reflections:** || The class was very loud, but this lesson proved to be a great segway into talking about group norms and what it must have been like for the early settlers. They are still adding to Edmodo. What I learned from Edmodo was that if I make one post and attach to all classes, then all students will see all classes. I facilitated this way to save time, but I really wanted to have the posts for each class. I had wanted to take video, but didn't since I was trying to take notes on observations as well. ||
