Week 8& 9 Evaluation and implementation

Students were encouraged to use traditional assessment packages to evaluate performance formatively and summative.
Very importantly, an implementation plan was structured so as to avoid any short-commings. Teachers then use all their skills and resources to devel;op the lesson.

Week 6 and 7 12th and 19th October 2011.

Objectives and strategies.
Here we looked at Objectives in the three domains that were General then specific. Since the lessons to be witten were instructive. sequencing is very important and all objectives are now related to the lessons as strategies for teaching these lessons were then focused on. Emphasis was placed on psychomotor skills for our swimming lesson.

Week 3 The ADDIE MODEL

The needs analysis bore some resembelance to formulating a challenge as we normally do for Technology education classes at school. Here the stage is set for the making of a problem statement and marks the beginning of the instructional design process.
Context analysis allows for the processing of relevant information on the audience and the environment.
Content analysis ensures that sequenced relevant information is directed to the class and we practice doing this so that this skill will fit in well to our final project.

Week 1 and 2 Theories and models 7th and 14th September 2011.

We met in the lower computer lab to begin this course. There we were introduced to the course. Individual members were signed onto blackboard and given a password. We diffrenciated between theories and models and did a group activity.Most of the theories were familiar but the design models were new.
It was interesting to see the theories in their different categories and their entirety.Good notice was made of notes given as they would proove to be important reference for future lesson planning.
