Session 3: Baggio, Clark and DervinHere is a link to my notes I drew from Baggio, Clark, and Dervin. To access click HERE
Key ideas from Baggio Key ideas I took from Baggio was the idea of utilizing strong visual representation when presenting information to your students. Along with the fact that 85% of people are visual learners, our students grew up constantly being stimulated with visual aides utilizing visual makes the content more relate-able for them. Another key idea I took away after reading Baggio was that prior knowledge is what helps us see and inturpret what we see - this ties in with what Dervin is saying about sense making. The last key idea was "design instruction so that the mind can take it in as both art and science". Having students who are mostly visual learners and were not successful in the traditional school setting this idea of how to design instruction was profound. Moving forward I hope I can address my students learning needs, prior knowledge and better represent the new information I am presenting to them. Key ideas from Clark Clark discussed best way to design and conduct a training. The key ideas I took from the reading were the following; first it is necessary to create a user profile which defines your learner's prior knowledge and skills. Second it is important to assess what the need of your learner really is, so that the training is not wasted. This is significant to me because I realize that both of these key ideas are necessary when I am designing my classroom lesson plan. Moving forward I think it might be a good idea to create a learner profile for each of my classes. Key ideas from Dervin A key idea I took away from Dervin was that information is taken in differently from every person and how they make sense of that new information is based on their previous knowledge, experiences and community/culture. This is significant because I see this as a way to better reach our students and ensure understanding of new material. My big driving question is I wonder what effect might tracking one's nutrition and physical activity/fitness digitally have on a student's behavior and academic achievement? I need to know how can I utilize technology better in order to reach my students with these important life-long skills and enhance their overall learning.
