ADDIE Model - Design

                                                                        
 Clearly the teacher did not design the activity in such a manner that took into consideration the personality of all his students since it appears Egor did not meet the objective.
 


Oh my goodness design, did my instructor remember that during the design phase it is important to “consider the personality of the audience?” I know several of my classmates are very creative since I read their blogs, even though I only responded to the one I liked best but for me; this blog stuff is killing me. Did he take me into consideration when he designed this method of presenting the materials? What objective am I meeting, aren’t there better methods to assess my ability to understand and implement the design phase of the ADDIE model? These are important questions that need to be asked during the design phase. I did some research, does he know that the first recognized blog was Links.netLinks.net and that it was created by Justin Hall in 1994.  It wasn’t called a blog back then and in fact it was referred to as a “weblog” a word created by Jorn Barger in 1997. The first known blog on a news site was done during Hurricane Bonnie for The Charlotte Observer in 1998. The word weblog was shorten to “blog  by a programmer Peter Merholz in 1999, five years later Merriam-Webster declared it the word of the year. What does the history of bogging have to do with the design phase of the ADDIE model, not a darn thing except we're using a blog for this assignment and blogs are very boring if all they’re used for is to put a bunch of educational information on it.  
The Design Phase



Focusing on the instructional strategies in blended and on line courses is critical since there is either decreased or no face-to-face time. Thinking of learning outcomes in broader terms will help encompass a wide variety of options to use.  The products of the analyze phase will be used during the design phase.  You need to ask yourself questions, what do I want my students to learn, what is the general make-up of my students, and what means of delivery will best meet the training objectives I want to achieve.  This phase is the time to also consider how you are going to assess the learning since the method of assessment is directly linked to the various instructional strategies used during the instructional process.  Think of how you are going to approach the objectives, consider how they will be learning the material and what learning activities and assessment you’ll want to use. The strategies you’ll use needs to enhance the students interface with the course content. Consider whether you will conduct the course in a synchronous, asynchronous or blended environment. The final product of this phase will be an outline of the teaching method/instructional tactics and learning objectives.

In this ED 308 class our final product is to create a curriculum covering a time frame of 5 to 15 weeks.  I have chosen to have a high school environmental science class coordinate and help build an outdoor classroom for one the their feeder elementary schools. My learning objectives will cover a wide range of subjects since they will include aspects of business for creating budgets, technology  in many different forms to include learning how to use CAD software for the physical concept and design of the classroom and of course science.  In addition the students will have to communicate and collaborate with the elementary student’s since they will be researching what type of wild life is native to their outdoor area and sharing that information with my students.  The elementary students will also be building bird houses as part of their 4H participation along with gathering seeds to start preparing them for planning as the classroom is nearing completion. Collaboration with the Alabama Wildlife Federation, landscape architect and the construction company will be included as part to the objectives. For each of the requirements that must happen in order to build the outdoor classroom I will need to design what methods I want the students to use in order to meet the objectives I stated in the analysis phase. It’s not enough to state the students will use CAD to design a classroom, I will need to build activities that first teach them how to use the software in order to meet the requirements that must be included in the design of the space. Every objective will need to be addressed.
