Instructional Design

Class on Wednesday 9th November, 2011.
In this session I worked on the group project with the other members of the group. I was given the part of context Analysis Report to research. It was difficult to understand at first. I had to go to blackboard to read up on the topic. I read my coarse outline and I went on google to research the topic to get information. I did not get very far. I even ask the lecturer Ms Cielto, she told me what to do. I think when I get to doing it, it will become easier. I really look forward to attending the Instructional Design Classes to acquire knowledge to be of assistance to pupils who may have problems learning, to be able to identify where their problems lies.

In this session we did evaluation Miss Cielto went through the explanation step by step as how she will normally do. It was simple to follow. I really enjoyed the exercise because it is what I normally do at school . I did  attempt writing questions for evaluation. I also worked on the project for the term which was a bit wide and confusing.I was trying to understand how to go about doing the project. Our group members went and discuss it with the lecturer to get an idea on how to go about doing it. I made an attempt at it. The project is a difficult task to do, but with the help of God we will get there.

In this session we did Information Theory Process. In this lesson we look deeper into objectives. The types of objectives written.The information given in this lesson is a bit wide, but understandable. When I attend class, I have a problem getting on to blackboard. Even at home I have a problem getting on to blackboard which makes it difficult for me to read the previous notes and the notes for the lesson to come.I enjoy this session, it was interesting and I have benefited from attending the class. I have to make the time to read the notes that you have posted up on the blackboard and what you have taught in your class it will all come back to me.

In this session we did objectives and strategies. I understood objectives from using it in my scheme and writing lesson plan at my school and I know about using different strategies when I am planning my lessons to teach.As Ms Cielto explain objectives and strategies to the students in the class it became clearer to me. What I have learnt in my Instructional Design class I have tried to apply to my practicum class. It was very difficult to use the information from the instructional design to plan lessons, it is time consuming, it is difficult to come with the required objectives and to get objectives for the different domains.

Class on Wednesday 5th October, 2011.
In his session we had to go into google docs find the lesson plan that was posted by one of our group member.Each member of the group worked on a different concept from the lesson plan. In this session which deals with content Analysis we had to go into details step by step and what was interesting is that you can get the step by step process on the computer on google which makes life simple you don't have to come up with your own findings.What is really interesting and exciting about using google docs is that you can stay at home and see each member contribution that they make to the project.

In this session each group had to present their lesson plan. I was able to hear each group presentation. The presentation was interesting and rewarding. Each member had their part to contribute to the presentation. I think my knowledge has increase about lesson plans.some members of different groups encountered difficulties reaching to class to participate in the presentation. Our lecturer was kind to wait patiently for them to arrive.In that session we were introduced to instructional design ADDIE it is a model for instructional designers.
