Instructor comments on your outcomes and needs assessment -- Jianwei Zhang (talk) 22:40, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

Hi Keriann,

Your design project is addressing a very interesting topic. A few suggestions:

1) your target outcomes of learning can be more focused. Your last item on the list (benefits of technology in classrooms) is too broad. Also, iPad can do most things that computers do. So the possible uses of iPad in classrooms will have a lot overlapping with uses of computer in classrooms. I'd suggest that you focus more on the special and specific uses if iPad to carry out inquiry, collaborative, and rich, interactive learning.

2) Based on the outcomes refined/refocused, please go ahead to work on your performance-based objectives.

Instructor comments on your objectives and task analysis -- Jianwei Zhang (talk) 14:31, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

I've reviewed your task analysis. Among the following objectives: Perform basic functions on an iPad

Understand the benefits of iPad use

Explain how an iPad is different than a computer

Identify ways of application to classroom instruction

Objective 3 maybe integrated into 1, focusing on what iPad is (unique functions).

Objective 2 can be more specific abut its benefits to support specific types of learning.

Your last objective "identify" sounds too basic. Would you expect that the participants will be able to design lessons that incorproate iPad to support productive (...) learning?
