      Common Question I: Effective Instructional Strategies Please discuss three most effective instructional strategies integrated in your project. Please be sure to justify why they are effective instructional strategies. Remember instructional strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, discussion board etc. It is the integrated soft technologies.

      I am using andragogy (which is different than pedagogy) to keep this very directed. Under the theory of andragogy (teaching adults), you want to 1. make it relevant. 2. make it direct. 3. make it hands on. My course is set up so that the instructors can work at their own pace, they have a basic explaination of what the technology/program is, how it is relevant to their teaching, and then they have to work through how to use it (with basic prompting). It is set up to be a problem centered real world issue (how to use these tools in their own classrooms) which motivates them to complete the assignments. This is not some "make believe problem" but a real world actual problem which directly involves them.

      Common Question II: Instructional Technology Please discuss the instructional technologies that you integrate into your lesson plan exclude your web sites/pages because they are the basic technology. Instructional technology is referred to hard technology in this question, such as discussion board, chat, wiki, blog etc.

      Hi Chih. Hi class. This online lesson uses the Wiki platform for the actual course content. It also includes basic image editing software such as paint. It also includes the use of youtube videos which help explain the content we are covering.

      Common Question III: Pitfalls Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.

      I have run this with my kids school here in the UAE with several of the teachers. They loved how it is laid out and how easy it is to use the wiki (once they understand it). The only real pitfall I can see with it is that by using wiki's, individuals with sight impairment/vision problems may not have universal accessability. The other issue is that RAKESS (the school) currently blocks Youtube videos (it is possible for them to unblock certain rooms, but it is a pain), and that teachertube is NOT able to be embedded into wetpaint wiki's.

    Will Very well laid out lesson wiki. Loved you links and the extensive resources. Wikis make simple but effective internet teaching sites. I will post your review after I figure out how to. Any ideas? Phil Howardell

    You website, was enjoyable as you are teaching your students the use of some web 2.0 tools, delicious bookmarking and wetpaint. I loved how you incorporated videos to help expalin how to use the web 2.0 toll websites, clever idea. I know sometimes I can read how to do something and be able to get, but a video is always helpful. Then what better way to but a students knowledge to test, then have them use the tools and create things. Great Lesson!

Parent Page-Novice-No parent page Layout-Mastery- Layout is basic, clear with no frills. The few graphics fit and tend to be links. Navigation-Expert- Graphics are links that lead to other pages and are cited. Accessibility-Novice-Does Wetpaint wiki support alt tags? NOne on my site. Fonts-Expert- Fonts are consistent and do not distract. Background-Mastery- Background is simple and does not detract. Color Choices-Mastery- Very few colors, but does not distract. Spelling and Grammar-Expert- No errors I can see. Copyright-Expert- Very little content needed citing. Extensive use of links to actual web sites.

    Hi Phil. I noticed on the student evaluation rubric there were not places for N/A. for example in the parents page, I don't teach children, so I don't have a parents page. I think a N/A option there would be good. as for accessiblity... I don' t know that it is novice... I don't think wiki's support alt tags. would that be a better as an N/A also? i did think of creating a whole CSS page for people with screen readers, and having everyone go there first and get the choice of wiki or universal accessability, but it seemed like a lot of work to go through, and then the universal accessability would not be interactive as the wiki's. should I do that? what do you think?

    Wiki made a good note on: "as for accessiblity... I don' t know that it is novice... I don't think wiki's support alt tags. would that be a better as an N/A also?" Anyone like to address it?

    Will I couldn't agree with you more. The point of this activity was to produce a web-based learning activity which you did very effectively. I think the rubric hamstrings reviewers in to looking for things that may not be as important as the content and organization. So in an effort to try to go along with the rubric, some items get marked low. If I had free reign to assess you work, I'd say it was an excellent plan that hit what students need, it was clear, had great teaching resources and I may come back and do the lesson myself. My only comment would be to add in the introduction what your teaching level is so reviewers have some perspective as to who the "customer" is.

    Self Evaluation * Aim/Purpose - Expert- The entry page states a quick overview and goals of the assignment. * Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan - Mastery- I realize I should have used the Taskstream Lesson plan builder to make it much more indepth. * Student Activity Page - Expert- This contains multi channel forms of information, videos, links and assignments. * Parent Page - N/A. I don't teach children, but rather adults. As such I don't have a parents page. I do think I should have included a "stakeholders" page for the student, teachers and administrators, but I would have it tied with the lesson plan. * Layout - Expert- I am using wetpaint wiki, and it makes the layout extremely simple and straight forward. * Navigation - Expert- Each page has its own link on the menu page, and all are accessable from any page in the site. * Graphics - Expert- There are only 2 pictures which are for Delicious and wetpaint, but it also includes several sets of videos which help explain the material.. * Accessibility - N/A. This is a wetpaint wiki and as such it does not support accessbility. The issue I have is that part of this unit is about how to use wiki's and delicious... if you make universial accessible css pages, they are NOT interactive like a wiki. * Fonts- Expert- Fonts are consistent and simple. * Background- Expert- Consistent and simple. * Color Choices- Expert- Colors are consistent and simple on all pages. * Spelling and Grammar- Expert- There are no errors. * Copyright- Mastery- All borrowed material is cited, but I don't know if citations are done correctly. I should have a resources page with the citations for the videos. * Contact Information- mastery- Contact information is provided by Wiki on each page but my contact information as the author are not listed, and my creative commons license is not listed.
