• We began by reviewing the evaluation process and importance of the 5 steps in the ADDIE model.  We used NEARPOD to take a quiz while covering the information.  
  • We had time to work on our Thematic Unit.  During this time I continued to write lesson plans and fill out the Development/Design Document.  I also wrote a rubric that would grade the Thematic Unit.  The issue I have with this, come through not giving the students the rubric before the  beginning the unit.  Students should understand the expectations prior to beginning the unit.  Regardless, a rubric helps in grading the project and lessons.
  • To finish up the day, we talked about a final document that is needed to be added to the Thematic Unit.
  • Evaluation Document:
      • Learner Reaction
        • What was the learners’ reaction to your thematic unit?
        • What did they like?
        • What didn’t they like?
        • Results of your reaction survey
      • Meeting Objectives
        • How well did the learners meet the objectives of this thematic unit?
        • You may want to include scores from assessments.
      • Facilitator Evaluation
        • From the instructor’s perspective, what worked and what didn’t?
        • What would you change?
      • Materials/Technology
        • Were the materials or technologies effective and appropriate?
        • What worked and what didn’t?
        • What would you change?
      • Environment
        • Could the teaching space be modified in anyway to improve instruction?
        • What would you change?
      • Continuity & Conformity
        • What changes would you make to the design plan to make this unit effective?


Final project presentation info:
  • Project presentation
    • Your project presentation is your opportunity to share your ADDIE thematic unit with the class.
    • The presentation style is up to you.
    • You will not be graded on how advanced the technology of your presentation is -- this is just the beginning of the Endorsement!
    • You should find a way to present in an interesting and informative way.
    • Your presentation should include the following:
      • An overview of your project (goals, objectives, scope and sequence, how you tied in math, ELA, social studies, and science)
      • Evidence that you used the ADDIE model to design your unit (briefly mention your experience with each phase)
      • What you learned (evaluate your unit and your use of the ADDIE model)
      • The "what you learned" portion should be the largest part of your presentation.
