Select any aspect of your project that you have questions about. Discuss your concerns in your blog post #9. I think my biggest concern is getting across the coder's mindset as I have discussed already with Professor Dudley. I am worried that I will focus too heavily on literacy and lose the essential teaching for coding. I think that I am also quite concerned with how to ensure that students find this material engaging. I have been working diligently to ensure that my students feel that the material I am presenting is engaging and encourages students to learn both coding as well as literacy. I think I am also concerned by the design of the website. I hope to provide more supports for teachers to implement coding in the classroom. I am going to link up another website I made for a previous course to ensure that all my students enjoy using this website. I think another question that has been lingering in the back of my mind is the differentiation that I can implement for my ...
MMP Outline: Multimedia Proposal: Coding for Elementary Literacy Overall Goal: Designing an online classroom for elementary students to use elements of coding to learn literacy. It will be a google classroom where students will work with video that include tutorials, scratch activities, literacy activities, and stories. I will provide students with an introductory video on what coding is as well as what scratch is. My goal is to have students supplement their early literacy learning with fun activities that develop an understanding of how key components of an effective successful code mimic the key components of a successful sentence, word, or paragraph. Audience: The audience includes students in elementary school who are trying to master elements of literacy with the help of coding. I plan to focus on elementary grades 1 st through 3 rd in this particular classroom. Students will be able to access most of the resources through goog...
Blog #7: Reflection How can the principles of design guide your decision making as you continually evaluate your multimedia montage project? The principles of design determine my decision making for my MMP. For example, any videos that I add to support students in their learning will require adherence to a lot of the principles to appeal to my students as I present this material to them. The Addie model played heavily in my planning in helping me decide what objectives to focus on in my project as well as the steps to build my project so far. I especially took into account the analysis questions presented in the video about the addie model in week 2 readings. I weighed heavily on the idea of who my audience was, what their learning style might be, and the characteristics of the learning environment. I decided to focus on students in early elementary because the topic I chose is rarely introduced to such a young age of learners. Also, I took into account the v...
