TED 744 Week #4 Fall '23

Hello and happy thanksgiving T. E. D. 7 44 week.

Number four carries us through the thanksgiving holidays.

So we are going to run this november 23rd through the 29th. Um

Knowing that your discussion will be due the 28th the assignment

and I'll get into more details from there if you know and you know

a couple of you have already reached out but if you know you're gonna be

traveling or whatnot or not within means of

internet or whatever whatever that means for you reach

out to me beforehand like early this week and

we can make other arrangements if need be.

Um I will not accept accept late assignments unless we have predetermined a plan.

Okay so if you need an extension you just need to let me

know prior to the due date and we can talk about it.

Okay

let's get through.

Um Well before I get to the recap I just wanna

spend a minute talking about what's to come this week.

This week gives us a little creative challenge but it also is going to be

kind of getting at the meat of lesson design and lesson planning in general.

And maybe a couple of new ways of doing that and

thinking about that too to give you more creative freedom perhaps.

Um

Now this week we're going to talk the addie model we're going to talk

understanding by design that process in the

community of inquiry model or framework.

However you wanna word that.

So there's three different models now you're gonna learn about all three

of those but you don't have to keep put them in isolation,

so to speak

if you like pieces and parts of certain ones,

that's your freedom to design your lessons with whatever model or models in mind.

So keep that in mind as you're learning about all of these.

Okay, a recap from week three, so it was really about learning outcomes.

Those taxonomy is smart objectives.

Remember smart specific, measurable,

achievable relevant time bound and writing those objectives to to have

all five of those pieces and then you took your needs analysis

from week two and you further developed it in including assessing student

progress and really using that needs assessment to guide your instruction.

Um

and then of course our overall goal, our focus is always student growth.

So that being said, let's get into a few little nitpicky things for this week.

Now I do wanna just keep you in the loop on my schedule,

starting on thanksgiving thursday november 24th through Tuesday november 29th,

I will be only available through email and even with that it'll be a little delayed,

I will be out of town and in an area where my cellphone

service and internet is going to be pretty poor um as you may know

just from my bio a little bit we are we're hunters and we do

an annual trip to South Dakota pheasant hunting every year at thanksgiving time.

Um I go with my husband and my dad and so I don't, I don't want to miss that.

So I am away for a little bit.

I will check my email in the mornings and I will check

my email in the afternoons or I should say the evenings,

so to speak and then I kind of triage them.

So if they need me now I will reply.

If it's something that doesn't need me right now,

you won't get a reply until november 30th.

Okay, again, super important to email me.

If you want an extension, I will tell you that on thanksgiving,

I probably won't check my email at all and possibly that friday after thanksgiving

because those are university holidays and I am off off off those days.

But again,

email me early this week if you think you want an extra day. Okay.

And I apologize for those delayed emails if you're trying to reach me. Um but

it is what it is.

Right, So I hope you all are able to find time to relax and do something fun for sure.

Okay, let's talk readings.

There are a couple of articles that are right

away in that module in that week for overview,

take time to read those.

There's quite a bit of reading and quite a bit of literature this week,

so be planned full of that.

But

in this book, the lesson planning with purpose, chapters five and six,

they're pretty short and we're still talking about those approaches or

um we talked behaviorist approach last week and and whatnot.

So in the constructivist approach.

Now it's the aesthetic approach which I really like. I appreciate that one.

And then chapter six is the ecological approach.

Now I come from environmental background,

environmental school background and so those two approaches really just

kind of called to me I guess so to speak.

So I appreciate that piece of that in planning.

Again, these are approaches, theories, take them or leave them,

but you're going to gain pieces that you like regardless.

I feel that way. Then in this book,

um chapter three which is models of instructional design.

This particular chapter is full of graphics

and charts.

I appreciated that because like I've said before this book is a little more heavy.

Um but this those helped me and as you get to your assignment,

some of those charts and things might be something that is

worth embedding depending on what way you go with that assignment.

So

keep that in mind.

Okay,

let's talk.

Um Well throughout that there's gonna,

this module this week module is separated into really these designs.

So you're gonna have a module on addie community

inquiry one in a learning activity and interaction one.

And in those are embedded videos, I would say, just at a quick math quick,

It's about 40 minutes of videos throughout the whole week four.

So again,

keep that in mind maybe as you're making

your Turkey dinner or standing over the stove,

whatever it might be.

Play those videos

and I love to have that mix of videos and

reading just to fit everyone's learning styles and learning needs.

But

addie,

if you've not heard of the addie model, the addie model stands for analyze design,

develop, implement, evaluate,

I like this one the reason I do like this one and

and again I like pieces of each of them but I like

there's a colorful graphic in this particular module and it's like red, yellow,

green, blue and darker blue and it goes through

each of these pieces and it really I'll be honest.

I printed that I had that printed a long time ago and my lesson planning

process probably five or six years ago and that was in my plan book.

Okay it just gives us really good reminders of what needs to happen.

I liked it, it's a great resource

take it or leave it

again. There's a couple of videos in their Grant Wiggins is one of them.

He's a big addie guy. Um so

let's go to the next one. Understanding by design, you've probably heard of this U.

B. D. Um pretty popular. We talked about it even in our undergrad classes.

So but there is um in that there's a template

that's embedded and I found that at one point and

I thought you know what this works pretty good because

it really kind of guides you through the process.

So if you're somebody who really likes the theory behind understanding by design

um maybe try to find a template or use the one I gave you because it really does,

I think walk you through that.

Um and it's it's embedded in there, you'll see there's a link,

there's also another graphic um

in there,

so which I liked and it has the educational experience in

the center of it and it really focuses on engagement,

which again I like that this particular understanding by design.

One thing that comes to mind when I think understanding by design is it

always starts with the goals in mind and then builds on student interest,

student needs and that's always at the forefront and

then scaffolding happens to go from student interest,

student needs,

scaffold it right to that goal in mind this in order for this to be successful,

you have to know your kiddos.

So

um I like it, I like pieces of it just like addy, I like pieces of it in that module to,

it also gets into um some pronouns and it's just that social peace,

that social presence as a teacher, you know?

And again community building and it might seem kind of

like off target when we talk understanding by design,

but because community is at the center of that annoying your kiddos um there's

there was good information I found on it, I should also plug the E. D. I.

Certificate three W. W.

S and staff do that along with students and it's one more notch

in your belt is what it is and I have found it.

I have not finished that certificate yet because quite a few classes

that are involved in it but everyone I've taken has been wonderful.

So there's some information in there on that just for future for future use. Okay

let's go to community of inquiry framework.

Again I like this one, it's active,

it's all about interactions and active learning.

Um Again I came from an E. E. I. C.

Background and so making an experience out

of everything we're doing and getting out

of our four walls was key but it is built on social presence which

U. B. D. Is built on that to um cognitive presence, teaming presence.

So really it's I look at it as very an inclusive way to plan.

It's motivating it's safe for your kiddos.

So again there's a lot of overlap between all of these and for me. I created

the way I create lesson plans really is a mix of these three models, so to speak.

So that's where you come in and what are you already doing and maybe you are like you B.

D. All the way fine, that's totally fine.

But maybe you've picked up a couple of pieces here there that

you want to add in so just keep that in mind too.

Okay next is learning activities and interactions.

We know that's super important.

We know that the more activities we have and the more interactions we have,

the more deeper the learning is and building that trust in our classrooms.

I think of active learning is place based I think of it as making something real.

Um applying it to our natural world, making things and experience interactions.

That's think of interactions between you and your students,

your students and you students to students you and you're teaching staff and

everyone to the community.

Really getting that community involved in really building

interactions and partnerships scaffolding or building on it.

We're activating prior knowledge and building on it.

That stepping stone then giving feedback I think

is critical feedback is huge for me.

If you're making them do something make sure you give them feedback

and then being reflective should be part of our planning process.

Okay I'm gonna kind of rush through now discussion

this one needs to be super meaningful.

This is one that you should be able to walk away from after you read through

made comments and whatnot and you will be able to add things to your toolbox.

So you need to come up with one strategy of instruction that

is needed for higher level student learning think bloom's share about it.

Why is it higher level, very similar to last week.

Be super specific here on your own experience

with those higher level targets in one of your

instructional strategies that you use to get there again

due monday at nine a.m. The assignment itself.

You're gonna you're going to be an expert now on addy you B. D.

Community of inquiry model. So now you're going to create a written guide.

Not a paper. Okay.

Could be if you wanted it to but make it a guide

to support using these processes when creating and developing your lesson plans.

So if you were to take this you're making a guide to give to other

teachers and be like hey and to yourself hey this is what I would do.

These are what I need to think about um

create that guide that you that you would like to

receive as a professional development piece in your school.

But again be creative. You can use pictures, you can use graphics templates.

Make it make sense to you and your colleagues.

That's why I want you to get away from that written paper.

So um in that creative piece perhaps you want to make

it a word document and throw in all these graphics.

Perhaps it's going to be a pdf.

Perhaps you're going to do a website, maybe you're going to make an e book,

you be creative with it and make it make sense and make it

make it something that you would want.

Okay so there's a few pieces to this you of course need to describe at the beginning,

describe the theoretical foundations of instructional design.

Go through and talk about addie

led in the Community of Inquiry framework. Talk about each of those

maybe pros and cons maybe that overlap.

Then you're going to outline all of those components and processes.

When it comes to effective instructional design,

you're gonna illustrate the steps okay of good instruction engagement, thinking,

understanding creativity, memory application.

How does that'll tie into our creation of our

lesson plan and then have some teaching strategies.

Have a collection of teaching strategies in there that really

show that you are getting at those higher levels.

So make this fun. Make it worthwhile.

Of course it's going to be research based but again,

make it useful for you and your staff.

Okay?

Do Tuesday at nine and a. M.

Remember if you need me email me early in the week,

especially if you need that extension and if not

enjoy your thanksgiving and we will be in touch.
