Module 4 Summary
Review the guiding questions and key points of Module 4 and think about the ideas and materials you have created that can be used in your classroom, instruction, or planning to help improve learner learning.
Module Questions:
- How can the creation of a learner sample help me clarify project expectations and improve my
instructional design?
- How can I ensure learners will achieve the learning objectives when creating their learner projects?
Module 4 Key Points:
- Planning and developing a learner product requires:
- Answering the project's Curriculum-Framing Questions
- Demonstrating understanding of concepts, skills, and knowledge
- Demonstrating higher-order thinking and 21st Century skills
- Creating real-world connections for learners
- Using ICT appropriately and effectively
- The decision to use a particular ICT should be based on its strengths in
supporting the desired content and learning objectives. Examples of tools
appropriate for learner projects are:
- Presentations—for oral presentations, enhanced with pictures, graphs, charts, sounds, video, and hyperlinks to other resources
- Publications—for text-based communication, enhanced with pictures, graphs, and charts
- Wikis—for web-based, text-oriented content that allows multiple editors
- Blogs—for web-based, text-oriented journals that encourage responses from readers
In the following modules, you will build on these concepts as you discuss ways to support and encourage higher-order thinking skills through the creation of effective assessments and learner support materials.
