Class Presentations
Go Sports- Louis presented his first storyboard on weightlifting at Northwestern for sports guys. I agree with Tiffany, that he could use more representative pictures for his story board. His plan for improvement seems pretty straight forward.
“Sew: A Needle Pulling Thread”- Christine presented her storyboard on a sewing class she teaches. What I found interesting was the similarities between her sewing audience and my tech classes. My kids come from all over the board on technology use/ skill, just as Christine’s students have a large gap in sewing abilities. I look forward to seeing her creative solution(s).
Go Sports pt.2- Briana presented her project for a Kid’s basketball camp in Philly. One way to improve the instruction that we discussed would be to increase engagement among the kids. I really liked Christine’s idea of using stickers (kids love stickers!) and incorporating technology/ videos may be fun for them too.
Last but not least- Oops! I realized a few minutes into the class that I had done the wrong assignment. When I should have storyboarded the original instruction, I storyboarded my videos. Still, it was great to hear some outsider opinions, and I hope to answer their questions in the final storyboard.
Overall, I saw my classmates progressing on their work. It was great to see how many different contexts for instruction and there were many creative solutions to the instructional issues. I would never have though about job aids prior to studying instructional design. Like Professor Koszalka mentioned, we’re building a toolbox.
Time to get out my sandpaper and perfect this instruction.
