Talk:Unit 1: What is Digital Radiography?
Unit 1 -- Diana M. Cary 09:34, 25 November 2012 (EST)
Hi
It looks like you have a great start in Unit 1. Although I know nothing about this subject I can see that your target objectives are being met in this lesson. Are you planning to add more to Unit 1? Are you going to have some type of assessment? I like the graphics you have in Unit 1. I would however make the clock in the introduction a bit smaller. Overall though I really enjoyed your course. Looking forward to seeing the finishes product.

Hi Diana,
Thank you so much for the feedback! I took your advice and made the clock smaller. I agree, it looks better! And, yes, it's still a work in progress when it comes to assessment. I plan on adding quizzes as a means of assessment and a final project at the end of Unit 3.
Thanks again,
Margie

Margaret, I agree with Diana! Definitely and interesting topic. I like how you started off with introducing the history. I was unaware of any of it, so I learned a lot. I have the same question as Diana about the assessment, so I am sure you are still in the process. I look forward to seeing the rest! Great work!

Great topic and a lot of good information. My suggestion would be to mix in some student centered activities and tasks along with the information that you give.
Hi James,
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that student centered activities are a must but I tend to struggle in this area. I have an idea for a final project in Unit 3 but am not sure how to use assessment in the other 2 units other than just you typical question and answer format. I guess this is an area where I need to focus...
Thanks again, Margie
Interesting topic! -- Christina Arnone 22:10, 27 November 2012 (EST)
Hi Margaret,
The topic you chose to investigate and work on is an interesting one. I like your use of pictures and outside sources, it makes your Unit 1 very colorful! One suggestion I have is to make your course a little easier to find on your portfolio page. It blended together with your homepage link a little, and I found myself searching to get into your class. Unit 1 was easy to find, and the course seems to move along with easy navigation from there.
Assessment Ideas -- Maree Michaud-Sacks 12:52, 29 November 2012 (EST)
Hi Margie,
I like your use of media, but noticed the missing assessment. I thought of some ideas for assessment that you may want to consider.
Ask students to:
- Create brief timeline of history of DR
- Compare/Contrast DR modalities
- Compose a concept map to describe the components of a digital imaging system
I hope these ideas get you thinking about what assessment activities you can add : )
