Okay, I want to show you the process I use

when building courses and working with teachers and teams as

they create their online courses.

Come along with me on a course building road trip

first you want to set your destination, you won't know

where you're going unless you determine your destination before you

begin. So when going on a road trip, you need

to know where you're going and what your goals are

just the same as when you're building.

Of course you need to first identify what your goals

are next.

You want to identify the big rocks.

So the most essential standards that you want to ensure

all students learn in the course or on our road

trip, the place is the most important places you want

to go with those big rocks.

You want to identify the learning targets for each big

rock. So within those most important things that you want

all students to know what other learning targets under each

standard that you want to ensure students walk away from

your course, knowing and on a road trip today, what

do you want to do with the big rocks on

your road trips?

So those those things you want to do on your

road trip, identify that now that you know your destination

and your angles.

You need to choose a route to get there.

You will need to make a plan, you will want

to make sure you look at the possible ways to

reach your destination and then plan your route for as

Benjamin Franklin says, if you fail to plan, you are

planning to film now that you know the route and

have a plan, you want to follow the map and

stay the course as you stay the course that will

ensure that you will reach your destination and that you

will complete your course.

However, when building courses remember to be flexible, problems may

arise or things may not work as expected.

You need to be willing to think outside the box

to ensure you can reach your destination and still meet

your goals.

Now, last arrival, now that you've arrived, it's a great

opportunity to reflect back on the journey, think about what

worked, What didn't, what would you change as it relates

to course building?

It also relates to a road trip.

As you reflect, you will learn and perhaps change how

to reach your destination the next time you will be

able to do it better or faster or a better

way the next time.

Thanks for joining me on my course, building road map.

Uh huh.
