Designing

 The art of creating innovative learning strategies and tools

Reflecting on Design

3/30/2018

0 Comments

 
While the categories of Designing, Implementing, and Analyzing all essentially merge together, I wanted to make a space in my ePortfolio for creative projects, and also projects that pushed me to think outside of the box - whether in my delivery method, or in my project concepts. 

It is challenging as an Instructional Designer to be innovative while also adhering to policy,  user needs, as well as proven successful methods of instruction. However, it is important to challenge our ideas in order to become better educators.

So while the projects displayed in this section still involved research and consideration for learning success, they are projects that challenged my way of thinking and executing ideas. 

Artifacts include:
  • Websites
  • Videos
  • Course Learning Tools
  • Course LMS
  • Blendspace courses
  • Academic papers

    Designing

    Designing is about creativity and about thinking outside of the box to create innovative tools and solutions for intended learners. Design is an important aspect of TPCK as "...design experiments narrow the gap between research and practice, between theory and application" (Mishra & Koehler, 2006, p. 1019). As well, as Mishra and Koehler (2006) discussed, when "...given opportunities to thoughtfully engage in the design of educational technology, teachers showed tremendous growth in their sensitivity to the complex interactions among content, pedagogy, and technology, thus developing their TPCK" (p. 1046). Designing is critical to understanding the connection between learners, teaching strategies, information, and technological tools.
