12-20-14 Reflection:
Integrating methods into instructional curriculum that seeks
to richly enhance the collaborative experience between students and those they
will interact with. In addition, the
course modifications should enable stronger foundation in students to recognize
the strength of their contributions as they pertain to overall analysis
functions and group/team interactions.
Reflections – Post 1st
Learning Circle meet-up (1-23-2015):
I really need to get on w/ doing a pre-course survey for my 2-16
class
Topics to cover:
·
Subject Matter Knowledge + Rating scale on a
variety of options
·
Desired course format (?)
o
Direct Instruction – slides, step-by-step
guidance in
o
Semi-course objectives taught briefly, then play
on the system
o
Free w/ curriculum as framework – students free
to work as a group, or not
(Me) Takeaways:
Maybe I can/should incorporate:
·
Weekly or bi-monthly exercises (?)
·
Weekly or bi-monthly TIPS – system tips &
techniques (tricks & reminders) (?)
(Possibly incorporate into post-course survey…
i.e. to gauge interest) ?
ADD: Do you feel you can adequately perform practical
application of the skills taught in the course?
From Adam: Focus on Reflection….!!!!
14 Feb 2015 Reflections:
Can’t learn on the system like you learn on an iPod… (it’s not
easy, intuitive, or easy to operate or completely robust
=
misuse can be catastrophic – system is so powerful it requires a lot of system
knowledge/time/experience to operate effectively
Teach with this understanding!!!
16 Feb 2015:
Worked a short seven-area “pre-course” survey where students
can rate themselves and their level of knowledge in seven topic areas that our
course is (currently,) predicated on an understanding of.
Ratings include:
Not Much Knowledge- Some Knowledge- High-level of Knowledge-
Extremely Knowledgeable
Survey included (purposely,) some jargon/terminology to rate
understanding
** This should give a good baseline where to start the class
(cover some remedial information, or hit- the- ground-runnin’
Surprisingly, my co-trainer seemed skeptical that I wanted
to conduct one (pre-course survey) but he seemed happy with the result.
