Standard 2 -
Design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments
Back
The exhibits on this page demonstrate my understanding of this standard. Each of the exhibits below demonstrates my ability to design digital-age instruction. Each of the exhibits below are projects that I completed as part of my educational experience at Kent State University.
HOTS Presentation View
HOTS is an acronym for Higher Order Thinking Skills. This exhibit was a collaborative group project for my Instructional Design class. The class was given options regarding the subject we could choose. My group chose to design instruction on how to facilitate HOTS with technology. We chose the PowerPoint format because it allowed it us to control the progression through the slides. When we began formulating what we should do for this project we didn't seem to know what to do. We were, as a class, working through the steps of systematic design. We had to construct our own knowledge of the class content while simultaneously applying it to our group project. As the weeks progressed through the project we began to gain an understanding of the class material and how it related to the project we were working on. The instruction that we developed was geared toward teachers. Accompanying the PowerPoint presentation was also a handout with notes and opportunity to work through the concepts from the presentation. The PowerPoint portion includes an assessment, providing the student an opportunity to exercise what they had learned through the rest of the instruction.

This audio podcast was the first in a series of "General Music Today" podcasts created as a tool for music teachers to use in a class as a supplement to classroom instruction.
