Learning Outcome 1 and 2: Demonstrate Knowledge and skills related to learning using technology.
It has been proven by many researchers that individuals learn differently. Therefore, since it is understood that individuals comprehend and/or perceive information differently, it is only logical that the approaches to instruction should support a variety of learners. If a teacher intends to be effective, they must get away from the “one size fits all” mentality of teaching. Not only must teachers get away from that; but also must the administrations and the Department of Education of many states. Concerning why it is beneficial for the instruction to be designed to support all learners needs, if the student is to be interested or engaged in the lesson, the lesson must be able to hold the students attention or interest. The student needs to be able to comprehend the lesson to the point of being able to retain the lesson and apply what they have learned to an assessment in order to show their mastery level. The instruction has to be presented in a manner that does not cause the student to be overwhelmed with information that he/she does not understand.The theory that is on display within this activity will Subsumption Theory which is the theory of Ausubel that is concerned with how individuals learn large amounts of meaningful material from verbal and textual presentation in a school setting (Dabbagh, 2006). The principle that will be on display in this particular activity will be cognitivism/pragmatism.
Activity and The Redesigned Activity\
The activity that is being redesigned was originally an activity from an Algebra I class that I created on the learning management system of course sites. The activity was placed under the icon of module 2 as an assignment. The assignment was to be a wikispaces assignment in which students would participate in a group activity. The group consisted of six students that were required to add specific information to the wikispaces page in order to present a completed assignment to the instructor as a group. The redesigned version of this assignment would include each of the groups would be assigned a time to enter into a seminar with myself in order to display what they have learned. The seminar would be powered by adobe connect. Each student will sign in and be asked to present the part of their algebraic equation naming its parts and presenting each element in the correct order in an effort to complete the algebraic equation. The students will present their work by typing in their elements. Each student will be graded individually and as a group.
