Module 1

This module has made me think about my role as

an instructional designer in the following ways

This has helped me see that teaching is not always about student's retaining information the same way everytime. I have always been a big fan of projects and learning outside of the "box". Seeing the way that education is turning to teaching the whole child and trying to individualize a plan for every student is very encouraging. I will make sure to try my hardest to teach children in ways that relate to somethings important in their lives. Like in math you could use saving up for a new toy as a math problem. If a student gets 1.50 in allowance every week how many weeks will it take him or her to buy a 30 dollar toy? Students will be excited because it is something they can relate to and they will be learning about money which is sometimes a hard concept for younger children to grasp.
