Summary+of+January+20+class

Student models of instruction were shared. I was impressed with the non-linear nature of the models. After sharing the models I asked everyone to create a lesson to teach healthy eating habits to second graders. (scan and share your model if you have time).

The purpose of the activity was to have everyone create a model of instructional design at the "lesson-level" and to recognize their thinking processes when designing, to capture what they do so they can grow ... either by recognizing something that works and being able to tap into that experience later, or, by recognizing what does not work, and analyzing what happened so that they can avoid a similar outcome later.

I've recently submitted a [|conference paper] and am exploring ways to visualize instructional design at the lesson level. I wanted to get ideas from the class members. I did! I thought about Kim's model with the learner in the center as well as Watsatree's (with the objective taking up a prominent location in the middle of the page.) Here's my model ... so far.



Please share your thoughts and reflections about this class if you have them! We learn from each other.
