What I learned from the class

I thought I would elaborate a bit on my previous post.
First, I will definitely be able to use many of the instructional design concepts in my own work. I especially liked the chapters on evaluations. I am currently in the process of doing an evaluation of my current literacy program and I will be submitting the evaluation to a software company, asking them to donate some software to help my program. Whether I get the software or not, the project is a great way to exercise what I have learned. My ID project took focus of a small lesson on SmartBoard functions and features. It was almost too brief as I just felt I was leaving too much out. Now I will follow through the entire instructional design process again, only this time I will cover my entire literacy program. Not only will I use skills developed in this class, but I will also incorporate skills from other classes as well. That is truly what makes this exciting is when you can bring it all together.

Wrapping up 572

Well, we are wrapping up 572. I am not much of a blogger as you can see. I am more likely to keep a blog up for personal interest as opposed to a journal of progression through a class. My record keeping is mostly done on paper. 572 was a fun class and I enjoyed using and learning Moodle. I look forward to more classes with Dr. Schroeder, but I hope we don't have to blog. It just doesn't work for me.
