2.6 Instructional Design
Candidates model and facilitate the effective use of research-based best practices in instructional design when designing and developing digital tools, resources, and technology-enhanced learning experiences. (PSC 2.6/ISTE 2f)
The Multimedia Design Project (MMDP) was created for ITEC 7445. During the development of this MMDP, I facilitated and modeled the effective use of research-based best practices in instructional design by conducting research, implementing and developing a Multimedia Project that was aligned with the standards from the PSC and the ISTE technology standards. This development allowed me to implement high levels of technology in my classroom and to facilitate coaching of other teachers who were interested in this high level of technology tasks. This field experience increased the Engaged Levels Indicators in my lessons and allowed me to assume the role of a facilitator rather than lecturer in the classroom. These ideas were implemented in my classroom freeing up time in class for more discussion, collaboration and leadership in the part of the students. I also collaborated with teachers and coached them through similar tasks, which the details are included in my final Capstone project, and I modeled and facilitated the use of new technology to enhance student achievement in their classrooms as well.
This artifact shows mastery of the standard because first, I used the Visual Design Principles (VDP) [Proximity, Alignment, Repetition, Contrast] to create this Webquest and I was able to model the designs so that they are appealing to all senses and to facilitate the development technology-rich tasks that are easy to follow from beginning to end, during the students’ performance of the task. Second, the principles of ADDIE were applied on all areas of the creation of a Multimedia product from the analysis to the evaluation stage of the product. Furthermore, this artifact uses digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning (ISTE 7a).
From completing this artifact I learned how to coach other colleagues in the development of high technology inclusive tasks by providing reasoning and pointing out the benefits of tasks that are technologically rich. I also learned the skills to model and facilitate the design and implementation of technology-enhanced learning experiences aligned with student content standards and student technology standards (PSC 2.1). What I would improve in future implementation of this artifact is to allow the students to present their finding through a variety of media to include written reports, visual representations and videos.
The work that went into creating this artifact impacted school improvement by effectively model and facilitate technology-enhanced learning experiences (PSC 6.2), and it gave the students the knowledge to apply in other courses to effectively explore real-world issues and pursuing answers and solutions. The impact can be measured by the number of teachers that have become familiar and proficient in the implementation of this Instructional Technology strategy and tasks at my school through Professional Learning sessions.
