Overall, I like my assessment tool. There are areas that
appeared repetitive when using it to evaluatean actual lesson, such
as the objectives and guidelines. These two things can be similar.
Also, there aremultiple areas to assess technology use. I am also
debating keeping the engagement opportunities andthe collaboration
areas separate--they also seemed to mesh when I used the evaluation
tool, despite mythinking when I created it.
Plagiarism in groups Lesson
1. Yes, the strategy was appropriate for the content/material.
However, everything that was donecould have been facilitated
asynchronously.
2. Yes, I believe other strategies would have been more
effective if completed synchronously. Theinstructor could have had
the students develop definitions as a class in groups synchronously
ordone through polls or breakout groups. This could also have been
through a defined activity,like a think, pair, share or jigsaw
activity. I thought the research component was important;however,
assigning the research assignment did not need to be done
synchronously. The
instructor could have given the research assignment and then
asked students to present togroups synchronously at another time or
post on the whiteboard, maybe 3 facts they foundduring their
researched. This could have led to a discussion, which also could
have beencompleted asynchronously.
3. As I mentioned in number two, there are alternative
strategies that may have been moreeffective for this lesson. Not
only would a think, pair, share or jigsaw activity be relevant
andengaging, it would allow for greater community building and
collaboration.
I found it very hard to grade this lessonas it was a lesson on
how the instructor would give a lesson onplagiarism. Therefore, it
was missing a lot of the information I was looking for with my
evaluation tool. Iwould have given this presentation a 22/45.
Icebreaker Activity Lesson
1. Yes, the strategy was appropriate. The instructor allowed
everyone to participate in breakoutsessions and with poll
questions. I thought the lesson was very scattered and not well
rehearsed. Theentire lesson revolved around using adobe connect
tools so it had to be completed synchronously
2. Yes, there could have been other strategies employed. The
instructor could have developed questionsfor each of the breakout
rooms so they had something to discuss while in each room.
Icebreakers do
not need to be done synchronously; however, I do feel like
synchronous delivery helps promotecommunity building more so than
asynchronous delivery.
3. I think a jigsaw activity would have been a great way for
students to learn about each other andbecome familiar with the
adobe connect tools. With a jigsaw activity, one expert would have
to move toa different breakout room and share about the other
people they have metthis could be through use
