Finally finished it. It was a good project in that it made me think. I found I was re-evaluating how I do my job and I think I'm a better teacher now. Here's the link to my project. This has been a valuable class.
This week we worked on Bloom's taxonomy and creating objectives. From these objectives we will create assessments using tools we've learned about during the module. This has been interesting for me. I've found the taxonomy table to be useful when creating activities, knowing what I want the activity to accomplish and how it will be assess. It has also helped me sort out formative from summative assessments. Here's a link to my page with the table I created: Bloom's Taxonomy and Assessment Table
Wow... I was really feeling overwhelmed this week. It's the start of a new quarter at school and it's always a busy time. There are some health issues getting in my way, and then to top it off, I'm starting two classes with new textbooks. Egads!!
We had an assignment to create a map with objectives and assessment techniques. Here's my first attempt. I created it using Inspiration 9. My instructor held a live conference the other night. Unfortunately, I work nights so I couldn't attend. Fortunately, there was an archived recording of it which I enjoyed this morning. The conference was an overview of the course and how it leads to the final project.
Datta Kaur is a strong proponent of backwards design. I was taught this in graduate school, but realize that I've drifted away from it over the years. So now she's got me thinking and remembering what I learned so many years ago, and wondering how to apply it to this final project. I'd like to do something for my psych or soc classes, as they are the ones I've been "blending" the most. A unit, perhaps? This will be tough because they both have new textbooks, so it's like teaching new classes. I wish I felt more comfortable with them, but I'll do my best. (Sorry -- thinking out loud. I do that a lot. lol...) The picture is starting to come together in my mind... yay! Onward!! Writing Learning Objectives - Stony Brook University |
