Module 3

This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my students’ learning in the following ways….
1. I am more aware of the copyright and fair use guidelines and how important it is to share that information with students. Even kindergarteners can understand the concept of "fair use" and can be cognizant of the fact that everyone needs to be given credit for their own creative work.
2. It also has helped me to think about incorporating more student research in my teaching. I know now about more kid friendly search engines that are safe for my student. I plan on showing my students how I research using the Internet and then have them do some practice with searching for specific topics.

This module has helped me to think about using standards, CFQ's, or formative assessments in the following ways...
1. I have a hierarchy of how to plan units by thinking about essential questions (the overall theme) and unit and content questions that get more specific.
2. I think more about the types of assessments that I can use and the fact that I do use them and don't even realize it.
3. It has also helped me to realize how much better it is to collaborate with my team to come up with an awesome plan that uses standardsm CFQ's, and formative asssessments!

Module 1

This module has made me think about my role as an instructional designer in the following ways: I see myself as more of a facilator of the problem based learning. It is more student centered where the kids work in cooperative or whole class to solve a problem.
