Look forward to reading your post # 9!

Hi, Everyone 

I enjoyed reading your post #8 and comments on your post. You guys did a great job in sharing a lesson plan, evaluating it using the Dynamic Instructional Design model! I am impressed by how you might use PowerPoint to support student learning at each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy. When you work as a teacher in the future, you will often run into the theory of Bloom’s Taxonomy. As instructional designers and teachers, we often establish learning objectives in alignment with each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy. 

Your reflections on the WebQuest assignment are thoughtful. I am glad to hear that you guys enjoyed working on it. From my perspective, I like your web design and creativity. 

I am sharing lesson plans evaluated by you guys. If you have not checked those lesson plans, feel free to check them.
