Great start Catherine. Excellent use of a cartoon! I like your driving questions.

You have written a very well elaborated needs analysis. Nicely done! (Still looking for a discussion of learning outcomes re: week 4/5).

Catherine,

First of all, I was impressed with how thorough your work has been so far. I also enjoyed the cartoon near the top of the page. I think this is a great way to catch a learners attention (it caught my attention as I was flipping through portfolio pages). I also really liked your topic and the guiding questions you are focusing on. I think that, as you mention, the Common Core standards really do focus on a lot of metacognitive skills and teachers need the resources to understand and incorporate these skills in to the classroom.

I also think you did a great job with your task analysis. The charts were very neat and well thought out. Your tasks for each were also very observable behaviors, so it would be easy for the instructor to identify if the students had met those skills.

Great job so far Catherine,

Teresa

Task analysis and Curriculum Map -- Margaret Ewart 16:13, 28 October 2012 (EDT)

Hi Catherine,

Very nice job! I ,too, was very impressed by how thorough and well thought out your page was. I was wondering if you could tell me what application you used for your task analysis and curriculum map? I really like the colors and format and would like to use it for my own page.

Thanks,

Margie

Thank you Margie! I used Microsoft Word. If you open a new document, click on the insert tab of the toolbar, and then click on Smart Art in the Illustrations section a window will open up with a bunch of different options. I chose the hierarchy option and then customized it from there.

Sorry it took so long to reply! If you need any other help or have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Very nice job with your page! I think that you have really thought out the flow and organization of your course. Your layout is feasible and interestingly, while also constantly building uponitself. I liked your usage of picture cues to trigger thought and action as well as the evolving case study that changes as the learner progresses. Your page is very dynamic, and well thought out.
