Classification System Reflection - 13 views

  When making the classification system, I first looked at the definitions for instructional sites and learning sites and also looked at the Levels of Processing Theory to gain more of an understanding of how to organize my internet sources.
  I thought about organizing everything by my essential elements, but found that I could use every type of internet resource for each part of the lesson depending on my creativity of how to tool was utilized. I also considered organizing into my classes 9th grade U.S. History, 10th grade U.S. History or Legal Systems, and found this to me too monotonous as well.
  Finally I then looked at my bookmarks that I've made previous to this class and the ones made on my delicious and starting grouping them into categories based on the type of tools they are. I realized that I could group these tools into printables/guided practice, collaborative spaces, visual supplemental material, audio supplemental material, and interactives with little to no overlap. I color coded the different tools to tell whether they were more likely used as an instructional site or learning site, but found that there was much overlap there as well.
  In addition, I still felt there was something missing that would not be included in instructional sites or learning sites and that to me was professional development. I added a separate list for professional development and my different PD uses for WEB sources.
  The classification system overall showed me how flexible the web sources can be, in that with a bit of creativity, they could be used in many different ways.
