This week you had a chance to think about delivering instruction through a technological lens. Why did you develop the learning objective you developed and what was your rationale for selecting the technologies you selected for integration? What are your expectations for the learning outcome?
I used this opportunity to create an assessment lesson for our trainers to use out in the field with school faculty and staff. They often think they are doing a great job communicating with their audience only to have dozens of questions waiting for them in their inbox and voicemail when they get back to the office. Our goal is for the administrators and teachers to be able to access their data, analyze and understand it, and then select appropriate interventions for their students. By having the participants do this assessment lesson during their training while the trainers are still there to help them if needed, they will be able to master the skill and repeat it later on.
How are you viewing your instruction differently now?
I love love love that there are so many more ways to present information instead of the status quo lecture. By watching a podcast of the instructions instead of just reading the instructions, the participants are able to see it, hear it, and then follow it.
With the help of new and exciting ideas, we can all be and train Einsteins! (and I'm not talking about the bagels.)
