Stephanie- ED 308

This has been a week, I tried to get as much done at the first of the week as possible. I complete the Course site project and worked more on my outline assignment. I still have to add additional details to the outline, thank you Dr Gale for the suggestions and the review. Our reading this was about engagement and how we engage students within the online setting. As I develop my class on photography I want my students to engage as much as possible. If you were taking a real photography class and you were going to take photos for the public I think it would very important to have true critiquing of photos. I know when I have my children's pictures made I examine them well before I purchase them. So I feel like the engagement will go well in my class to prepare students for public observation of photos. What I have found interesting this week is how much one person can actually do and still get the class work done. I have worked 12 to 14 hours a day. We had a special event this we...

Blog entry 3 Building Community and Collaboration This week we have worked on the Course Outline Assignment, building community and collaboration. Reading the material and watching the videos give you assistance while building the course outline with helpful do's and don't. This project is very in depth, I have never completed a course outline. My interest this week is creating the student involvement. The most of the testing in my class will be at the beginning so that I know that they understand how to use the camera. I want my course to be more hands on, taking pictures and having the other students to assess the photos. I think the students will learn more from critiquing others work. My problem is that I would like for the students to share their pictures on a blog. I think this will be a good thing for them to start while in the class then the blog could be carried into a business for others to see their work. I have not exactly figured out how I will grade the sub...

Good afternoon everyone, This week in ED308 we have been introduced to the design phase of the ADDIE module.  In the design phase you add the assessments to your class. When designing a class you must first know what you want to test on before you create the materials that you will teach. As I was going through the reading materials and watching the videos I tried to think of the things that I would need to be testing on in my Photography class. My only assessments for my class will be weekly quizzes that will let me know that they know and understand the components of the camera and lenses. The only other assessments will be the pictures that they take to demonstrated the different lighting Technics . So as much as I hate to blog I have decided that my students will create a blog and submit the photos on their blog so that others can see their work and learn by their peers. My item of interest this week is how you develop a class from the end to the beginning. This is great ...

Since our creation of this blog, I have read about the important components need to develop an online classroom. As I read through the material I thought of the classes that I have taken and how each part was represented in the previous classes. Some classes presented more of the information than others.  We learned about ADDIE and in our assignment we will start with the "A" in the ADDIE model the Analysis in our course outline.  I have decided that I will develop my class on photography. I love photography and by no means am I an expert on it but I do enjoy it and would love to learn more about it myself. So as I develop my class I will be learning also.  I am excited to get started and see what the other students have in mind for their online class. I think this will be very interesting as we move forward with this project. Some problems that I have had this week is how to fill in all the information about my class on the online information. I continue...
