During the second week of this very fruitful course,
I’ve learned so many things; I reviewed the way I create learning objectives
for my students and I tried using the A B C D model (Audience, Behavior,
Conditions and Degree) the way they are named and organized in the course.
Learning
objectives should be clear, concise, and focused on what learners should be
able to do after they‘ve completed the instruction. As Johnes, 1997 states:
“Clear objectives can help the instructor design lessons that will be easier
for the student to comprehend the teacher to evaluate”.
Now, I am highly motivated to start a new
technology-inspired change in my classroom. Therefore, I surfed the internet
looking for better opportunities for my students to enhance their active
learning and trigger their critical thinking.
I would like to thank all my friends and classmates in
this course for sharing their best practices, their successes and also their
failures. I hope to read more from them in the coming weeks.
Many thanks to Jodi
and Sherie for their ongoing support and encouragement!
