Category: Assignment 2 – Blog Feedback

Hi Judy! Thank you so much for sharing your video! You clearly laid out the learning theories that you followed. One thing I especially realized is the transitions you updated/incorporated in your imovie video vs what you had in your screencast! I also noticed your use of the redundancy principle which stood out to me because in your screencast video I felt there was a lot going on, and depending on the type of learner you have, that could be considered distracting. Therefore, by cutting out bulks of text and just choosing narration along with visual aids made the video much easier to follow. For example, our eyes could follow the visuals while our ears listened to narration; rather than our eyes trying to follow both images and text. Overall, really well done and thank you for sharing!

Hi Judy! Very well done on your blog this week! You clearly identified the importance of inclusion and diversity for all learners. As a summer camp leader, I can vouch this is extremely important to not get the learner ready to learn, but to get the instructor and education ready for the learner. As you mentioned through the backward design video, educators must plan with care and understanding to the fact that everyone learns differently. Although I agree that the teaching step is most valuable, I was just curious when you say that because doesn’t the planning aspect have a big role into the teaching aspect? Overall, well done I enjoyed reading your post! Thank you for sharing 🙂

Hi Judy! Very well done on your poster this week! I love all the visuals as they easily catch the attention of any reader/learner! You easily have a balanced amount of visuals such as images, as well as text, where it is not too lengthy that the learner would get bored of reading it! Well done! I can also see that you clearly followed Adobe’s 8 principle elements of design, especially with your colour and contrast choices! The light blue and beige go perfectly together, while not overpowering one another. One thing I would consider thinking about is if the pattern/image choice at the top of the poster, as well as the different images/shapes separating each section, could be found a bit distracting for the reader? Overall, good work! I really enjoyed your poster 🙂

Hi Judy!

First of all thank you for sharing!

I can clearly see that you are discussing the constructivist and socio-constructivist teaching methodology approaches of working alone vs working in groups. I agree with you that the socio-constructivist teaching methodology approach is extremely important in learning because of its interactiveness which allows a students imagination and creativity to grow while staying educated! With this being said, I wonder if the socio-constructivist teaching methodology and gamification go hand in hand? You also strongly explained the difference between gamification and game based learning!

I also found it nice that you pointed out what you misinterpreted in learning too! I think this is extremely important and beneficial to people to see that even “teachers” can make mistakes too!

Thank you for sharing! Well done!

To respond to Judy’s post for this week, I think you excellently gave examples to Mayer’s idea of using interactive learning styles (2009). I found it very interesting how you related it to something almost all can relate to: google maps. I also agree with you on how there is mutual accessibility. I found it very interesting that most people learn best with multimedia learning, which includes both words and media (photos, videos, etc). I think this is important to augmented reality- as you mentioned that it allows more of a hands-on and interactive learning experience. I wonder where else this hands on learning experience would be important outside of a classroom. Thank you for sharing!
