Talk:Joshua Lewandowski's Portfolio Page

Initial feedback -- Janewilde (talk) 11:25, 12 October 2013 (EDT)

Hi Josh, You are off to a good start. Now here are some recommendations.

Take a look at my portfolio page. Copy my headings as a template. You can modify them but it will help you.
I am using the word Outcomes differently than you have heard the word used in the past. I want you to consider Gagne's five learning types (what he calls outcomes). Which of these will you look for. The reason I ask you to do this is that we usually limit ourselves to types of learning that we can test on typical tests. These are limited to what Gagne calls verbal and motor outcomes. This people can recall and things people can physically do. Will you teach this kind of learning? Will you also teach to intellectual, cognitive and attitude?
What you have now may be modified to be your objectives, with a little work following this weeks readings.
I'd like to see that you know how to add a picture at this point. Add one to your personal page and let me know if you need help.

Needs assessment -- Janewilde (talk) 14:11, 15 October 2013 (EDT)

You've done a nice job on your needs assessment. Each of your subsections is clear and well elaborated. One thing I want to help you keep clear. "Instructional context" here refers to the mini-course you are teaching. Not how your learners will use it in their classes. Because you are teaching teachers about teaching this can get confusing. hehe. Make sure you understand my note above about the outcomes. You could just put in parentheses after your current statements what KIND of learning it refers to.

Josh,

I liked your project a lot. I was interested to see how someone else was discussing literacy in another content area. Just like science, history is very conceptual and has a lot of it's own language skill requirements. It was interesting to see what techniques you researched to develop literacy in your own content area!
