3rd Class

This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my students’ learning in the following ways….


The internet can have great impact on my student's learning. My students will not only be learning writing skills, oral language skills, but also researching skills as well. The students will also have better communication skills for the 21st century. The internet will help them to be engaged in their learning as well as helping them to become collaborative workers.

This module has helped me think about using standards, CFQ's, or formative assessment in the following ways. I will use standards that will be met in my unit. The standards are the basis for my unit. CFQ's will help the students with their higher order thinking skills, they are important to the student as well as interesting. They help the student understand the concepts and to learn factual information. Formative assessments should be used to monitor progress throughout the unit, to check for understanding, and to encourage self-direction and collaboration within the groups.

Projects can help my students meet standards and develop 21st century skills by providing real-world context, giving the students ownership of their work, using higher order thinking skills, and is engaging.

I can use projects to enhance student learning by making it engaging, meaningful, and student centered. Students will be able to develop a deeper understanding of the content knowledge and skills by using a project.

As an instructional designer, I need to become more of a facilitator and let the students do the work. I also need to be able to assess them throughout the project not just on the end product. I will need to design a project that engages all students, is based on content standards, and uses higher order thinking skills that connect to the real-world.
