Unit 3: Evaluation

ETAP623 : Unit 3 Evaluation This page last changed on Jan 23, 2008 by wikiadm1. Wrap up and evaluation You are graduated now! If you followed the previous units and designed at least one lesson plan incorporating one video of the Jasper series you have fulfilled the objectives of the course. Following you can find a brief review with the most important concepts: Learning communities In order to simulate future work place environments we should foment in our classrooms this new teaching approach. This style presents three main characteristics: Implementing projects vs. teaching lessons Increases motivation targeting different audiences and learning styles Opportunities for self-assessment and the use of new learning tools. Anchored instruction This instructional approach challenges the learner with real-world problems. It has also five main characteristics: Anchors are complex They offer a context to situate the challenge They have multiple solutions They provide models for the students They facilitate collaboration Lesson plans Lesson plans follow an organized and coherent schema that helps the teacher to identify the goals, outcomes and procedure of an activity or unit. Lesson plans have three main parts: Target population Goals/objectives of the lesson Scope and sequence Evaluation As a wrap up of the lesson I would like to share with you the following video. Our students learn very differently; their environment and relationships are different, they relate through technology and more important, they create technology. This video should make you think about how you desing your classes, how you present them to your students and how you can improve your teaching style in order to meet their necessities, their reality. Your knowledge about the Jasper series and learning communities will help you to reach your students and their context.
