Talk:Unit 1: Creating a Bully Free Environment Within Your School

Feedback -- Tasha Youngman (talk) 09:16, 20 November 2013 (EST)

Ally, I love your unit! There are so many pictures and clips! It is great and such an important topic. I think it would be nice for media skills teachers to use as a resource because they have to teach about cyber bullying. I really like the section that says what needs to be completed.

Some things you may want to do:

You have a what needs to be completed section but not an objectives section. Is this meant to be your objectives? It was my understanding that we had to put our objectives on the unit page. Down where you have the FB icon your words about several forms cyber bullying can take come up next to the picture, but then the rest of the list is under the picture. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not.

Nice Job!!

Ally, I liked how you listed what needs to be completed by the end of unit 1. It lets the learner know what is expected of them and if they have any questions about what they need to complete for the unit, they can easily resort back to that. It reminds me of how Jane lists what needs to be done for every module. It is really helpful. The aspect of your 1st unit that really stands out in my opinion is your differentiated instruction. You had a good mix of lecture, visual learning, hands-on activities, and the discussion wrap-up ties the unit together pretty well in my opinion. I think the discussion questions would definitely make for a good class discussion on a forum as well. I honestly do not see any part of your 1st unit where that I would change except maybe list your objectives at the top of the page.

Review of Unit One -- Megan Zoerb (talk) 15:15, 23 November 2013 (EST)

I love everything about your unit. I think this is an incredibly powerful topic and the construction of the unit is very useful. I think the way you set-up your pre-assessment was great. The us of multiple choice and true or false allows the learner to be engaged but not overwhelmed. The only suggestion I would make is to include a video or some other type of interactive media. Despite this suggestion, I truly do love this lesson. This is a job well done.

What an excellent start to your project. Positive points

Excellent use of pre-assessment,it gives students a point to compare their learning to after the unit finishes.

Your explanation of bullying and cyberbullying are clear, easy to follow and well presented

Both the reflection piece and the brainstorming activity give an ability for students to collaborate asynchronously.

Your objectives are clearly stated and connected well to your activities

My only point of suggestion is the format of your pre-assessment. If you put your assessment questions into a service like survey monkey, students would receive definite feedback on the correctness of their responses.Just a thought. Great project!

Your course is really shaping up.

Here are some things I like so far:

clear objectives
upfront overview of tasks
use of varied resources
compelling images
preassessment - great way to get people thinking about what they think they know (While I like to use interactive online tools, I'm thinking you wanted the answers to be confidential and kept for later reference
use of wordle as a creative synthesis of understanding
use of discussion area to share wordle assignment
excellent use of scenarios in unit two.
instructive graphics

Consider: providing better navigation between lessons. you've provided a strong case for why this is an important topic. I look forward to hearing how one can take action to create a safe environment for kids and help kids cope.
