Reflection
●    My instructions was appropriate for all types of learners including ENL students, Students with IEP’s and students who struggle academically.
●     I would like to have included more technology based activities in my lesson
●     Some of these changes would benefit my students because most of my current students are more visual learners and with technology involved their success could improve.
