Internship Reflections: TF 11.F




Identify and apply instructional design principles associated with the development of technology resources.

Work with campus teams to implement model technology integrated lessons.

On March 9, 2011, I met with the third grade team to discuss appropriate technology tools to help with synthesis of information in reading and social studies. We planned as group and brainstormed many different ideas. I suggested to the team that they might consider utilizing Moodle forums for this type of product. The teachers and I worked through several lessons where the students would read over the information and then comment on the Moodle forum . The students then had to answer a Moodle question such as, “What would you have done differently if you were the main character having this problem? How do you think the outcome of the book would have changed if the main character had changed his actions?”

The students were able to work through the Moodle forum very easily. They truly were engaged and appreciated the novelty of getting to post their ideas and also comment on classmates’ responses. The teachers have decided to utilize Moodle more often especially with the forum feature.
