This week, our assignment was to learn about the design phase of the ADDIE process. Particularly designing the assessments. I learned that while designing the assessments, I must remember to consider the goals, the learners, the context, and the assessment itself.
Item of Interest
I found it interesting the variety of assessments that can be and should be included as well as the value of self-assessments. I think since I am doing a lesson for elementary school students, this is something I will be sure and do often.
Problem or Concern
I am less concerned about this project than I was last week. I am beginning to get a better picture of what I want the outcome to be and I'm feeling good about the process. My only concern at this point is my ability to make the course usable in the future. I know I can do what is asked for this ED308 course assignments, but I really want to make a course that can be used and that I will be proud to share in the end.
I am also working on my outline in a way that I may be able to use it in the future, although, I believe I would possibly expand it a little more.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara!,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog post on this work week in ED.308. I too was a bit mesmerized by the different types of assessment that can be used, and the outcomes that they intend to meet. I am glad that you have gained a better mental picture of the course outline assignment, and I too hope to use my course outline in my future teaching practices. If you would like to offer any suggestions and input on how you sequenced your assessment with your course goals, please do share. Best wishes this semester!

Barbara,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! There were so many different types of assessments and it was very overwhelming for me. I said the same thing about being less concerned with the project. I think Dr. Gale is doing a great job taking us step by step through each mini lesson so that we don't get confused or lost in the project. I'm really enjoying the project and I hope you are too!
