George-

It is great to see your draft unit and outline, so I can provide you with quick feedback.

  • To help the participants understand phonemic awareness, you may refer to this existing mini-course:Developing Phonemic Awareness in Kindergarten Children. Your own mini-course will really focus on how mobile devices can be use to support phonemic awareness, without repeating what has been covered in the above mini-course.
  • I would also like your course to be more pedagogy-oriented and less technical. Think about the possibility of integrating the first three units you've laid out into one unit to address the tech side.
  • It will also be more engaging and interactive if you can begin your mini-course with a case/example or problem situation: A whole/authentic case of using mobile devices to support...to show case the notion you are addressing as well as the value of it. In the following units you will look at the cognitive/pedagogical aspects as well as the tech side, and demonstrate the different ways of implementation.

Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't see this early on unfortunately. I will definitely incorporate some of the things you mentioned. My thought from the beginning was to build on each unit and target it for teachers that have little digital device experience. It seems the way I developed my course was to align early language with technology in general. I will never truly be done with this mini-course as I could refine it repeatedly. I'm enjoying this mini-course much better. There is never enough time.
