Reflection for Instructional Design class (09/11/11)

It was the first time I encountered the topic which was taught today, 'Implementation Plan'. I didn't realise that a lesson plan required so many details. Implementation Plan was simple to understand and easy to include in a lesson plan. All my future lessons will certainly include this; there is no way I would be experiencing planning and teaching problems again. If, for some reason I am absent, another teacher would be able to teach my lessons with very little problems. Thanks to Instructional Design.

I came to class without visiting our project on Google docs. The reasons being I was so busy with other assignments and personal matters. Anyhow I was not the only one; three (3) other members did the same. So we started Context Analysis and it was a lot of work. So while other class members were doing work on Context Analysis, our group was busy completing last week's work. This meant that we didn't do or understand much about Context Analysis. Knowing our group we would catch up. I need to understand Context Analysis quickly, because knowing the factors that affect my students is imperative to planning for them.

As was expected, most of the information given today on Evaluation Strategies was familar to me. This familiarity didn't cause me to become disenchanted because I knew I was reinforcing what I already knew. To my suprise I didn't realise that my evaluation questions must match my objects so closely. In some cases the same words can be used. Conformative evaluation was something new to me. So in the future, at the beggining of each new term, I must monitor my students product and performance from the previous term.
