During the preparation of the lesson, because it was a lecture done together as a group, we had a lot of disagreements and discussions about what we chose to present and how we would present it. In the end, we finally discussed a common solution by combining the ideas of all three of us. We used demos in our classroom to generate interest and introduce the software to the group, which will help future students learn maths. Through everyone's feedback, I realized that I need to incorporate body language and eye contact more in future classes, it is easy to just look at the board or stare at the projector when explaining maths problems. Lastly, I also need to improve my ability to deal with when things happen in the classroom that are not at the time or situation I planned. For example, if our class is going faster than expected, how to add new and useful things or summarise the gaps in time better is something I need to prepare for. Overall, this group teaching experience not only allowed us to experience the ability to collaborate with our "colleagues" in the classroom but also to experience how to use the classroom's resources to enrich our own classroom.

OK -- good thoughts on the process of co-planning the lesson, and on some of the important take-aways you have for improving your delivery in future lessons.
