The use of technology to enhance the lesson plan empowers students with new skills and self motivation.
I found the students to be engaged, excited, and having a feeling of accomplishment because they were using tech tools to explore their career optins and express themselves.
The use of a computer lab is preffered. If the school has acquired a career guidance program site license it should be installed in the school computer labs as well as in library computers.
The pre and post career survey used in the lesson were developed by myself. Next year I shall do reaserch to see if I can find surveys that have been feild tested. I shall also try to acquire a computerized career interest survey.
Overall I believe this lesson was one hundered (100%) percent more effective than the previous years, as students were more engaged. Due to the technology they were required to use, it was informative and fun.
