Reflection for Instructional Design class (19/10/11)

Our task was to write Instructional Strategies for each lesson composed. Even though I knew about Instructional Strategies, I was ignorant of the fact that it can be divided into Initial Presentation and Generative Strategy. Now I know that whatever content I am teaching (whether it's fact or concept or cognitive, psychomotive or affective), I must separate my stretegies into the two (2) categories afformentioned. I spent alot of time trying to understand Instructional Strategies and must say, my class lessons have already started to reflect this. Now Instructional Design has become simplier, and as a result I am sure I can write Instructional Strategies for all my lessons. 

Reflection for Instructional Design class (12/10/11)

Our group has almost reached to where we are supposed to be. The topic, 'Objectives,' which was taught today, was something I knew already. As a result of this, I was a little listless. However, the class proved to be fruitful because, as it turned out, I was ignorant of some of the critical things about objectives. These include the difference between an objective and an activity. So I ended the day pretty confident that I fully understood objectives and the different levels. I can safely say my lessons would have a different complexion now.

Reflection for Instructional Design class (05/10/11)

Our position from last week hadn't changed one bit. We came to class with our project untouched. However, we worked assiduously on the Content Analysis and completed most of the day's work. Content Analysis was something new to me but it was made so simple by miss that I understood almost immediately.  I decided to become group leader and assigned responsibility to each member so as to prevent the situation from repeating. On my first free time I completed my portion and went on to list all the headings from the Context Analysis. We planned to be on par with the class next Wednesday, hope we finally do. I know Content Analysis would go long way in helping me prepare for my classes.
