Teaching Reflection 2:  Business Plan and Personal Branding

The second lesson I taught was right up my alley and I really enjoyed it. This lesson took place on a Friday, when the students work on a special project.I started the lesson with appreciative inquiry and asked them to type into the chat one thing they are grateful for. Starting the class in such a manner has now become my signature.  As an introduction to their project, I provided students with an engaging overview of what a business plan with a youtube video that paused and had built-in questions to make it engaging and summarize learning. I then delivered a lesson about what personal branding is and why it is important. I engaged students to think of themselves as a personal brand. I gave personal examples. The students really seemed to be inspired and engaged. This was a wonderful way to end the week. I keep thinking of ways to keep the students engaged and entertained. At the end of the class, I asked the students to provide feedback for the lesson. I have continued asking students for feedback after each lesson. I feel like I have been trying little techniques such as appreciative inquiry and asking for feedback and then making them a routine.
