It was great to see 3 teaching demonstrations. I've very glad I am signed up to do my demo towards the end because each demo I watch I gain a few more suggestions for my own.
Such as I need to be crystal clear what my purpose is, lay it out, and summarize before I close. I need to remember to pause between sections. If i'm giving a list of 4 things, I need to count what they are each time to make sure they're following me.
Like my professor father says, always do this when doing a presentation: Tell them what you're gonna tell them. Tell them it. Then recap what you just told them.

Class #8 3/5/09 - guest professor & 1st DEMO
Meeting our tuest speaker Erica, who does instructional design as a job, added another person to my list of hopeful informational interviews in the future. I'd love to hear how she ended up where she is. I like what she does - althought I'm not sure I'm as tech-y as I would need to be to one day be able to do her job.
I was amazed at the different quality of e-learning she shared with us. Found it interesting she agreed with the text about the need to pilot things. I thought that was a bit silly in the text, but once hearing it from a lay person, was convinced.
I've decided I'd like to include in my 8-hour seminar plan: job aid, takeaway, card gaem, photo time line, hopefully some computer IT games to engage the tween audience.
As for our first teaching demo - I was very impressed. And excited. I hope to do as good of a job. It will require much preparation.

Class #7 - 2/26 with discussion on Evaluation
I enjoyed the discussion on levels of evaluation. Everything we're doing in class is going to help me build my 8-hour seminar. I'm excited to do it, but don't feel organized like I should.
Another hint for the 8 hour: I can include any of these media: transparencies; computer; CD; DVD; guest speakers; audio recording; video clips; job aid as a visual takeaway.
Evaluation wise - I never realized the different levels that folks can evaluate us. I appreciate that it's something that is taught and required in our 2 assignments. To not only practice designing lessons, but presenting them, and evaluating them. For my 8 hour, we discussed what I could likely do is one/or all of the following:
Level 1 = a quick hand out survey with 6-7 questions on satisfaction, including question would you refer a friend to take this class if it were offered in the future?
Level 3 = one year later, include a follow up survey by mail or phone. This would test the sharing hypotesis I have for the material as well as the did it affect your behavior at all.
Level 4 = I won't likely do this, but could do some type of ROI by the number of schools &/or parents that might hire me in the future.
I know much more thinking needs to be done here.
