Instructional Design
Course Artifacts
Field Experiences
For my Instructional Design class, I collaborated on a project with 4 other members in class. Using the ADDIE process, we identified an instructional need at Champion Central Elementary in Warren, Ohio. The goal was to design instruction that would help solve the instructional need. The instructional need was how to prepare students for the digital world. We created a curriculum that fit the
instructional needs of students in 1st and 2nd grade in 18 lessons.
The YouTube video below is the video I created for my portion of the same project.
The instructional design paper explains the project listed above and was completed with the same group. It explains the identified need at the school and further details the steps of the ADDIE process that was used for the instructional design. The document also describes the lesson plans that were created as part of the project.
This document outlines my plans for my eportfolio website. It contains the purpose, needs assessment, audience, presentation, rationale, and design of my eportfolio.
Teacher Collaboration with Google Sheets and Google Calendar
Last year I collaborated with the 5th grade staff of teachers to create a curriculum map for math using Google Sheets and Google Calendar. The Google Sheet, titled Common Core Math Curriculum Map, describes which lessons cover which domains and standards and what month the lessons should be taught. The Google Calendar, called Math Curriculum Map 2014Â2015, shows which chapters and lessons are covered during the week as well as the standard. Using both Google Sheets and Google Calendar provided me with the experience and knowledge of different ways I can collaborate and work with other people. It has opened up new and exciting ways to accomplish tasks and complete work in an effiecient and effective way.
Symbaloo
I created a Symbaloo page for my students to use and added it to my teacher website for school. Adding Symbaloo to my website has allowed my students to get to websites in a faster more effective manner which has allowed more instructional time. Symbaloo allows the students direct access to websites without having to type in long and difficult spellings of URL addresses. I have also started to create other Symbaloos that have been helpful for me. I have created Symbaloos for websites that I frequent the most, a social studies Symbaloo, and Symbaloo for future websites that I want to begin using in my classroom.
