Instructional Design: Theories and Models (EDT610) 

//Instructional Design: Theories and Models (EDT610)// is a course designed to integrate technology into instruction. The three theories studied in this course include Behaviorism, Cognitivism and Constructivism which were ties into the various models of teaching while utilizing technology. In addition, the learning theories were investigated by students to determine which is best suited for each individual students learning style. Candidates in this course were given an opportunity to design instruction based on the three theories and models which were covered in this course. It is very important to note that the Instructional design includes; analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation.

Technology Facilitation Standards Covered

**#2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments**

Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:

**a.** design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity **b.** develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress **c.** customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources **d.** provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching

Reflection

This course was one which provided pertinent information about the importance of the theories and models which are embedded into the design of instruction; specifically, instruction in which technology is included. In addition, assessments were examined to ensure that they meet the criteria outlined for the model of instruction. Instructional strategies, objectives, standards, assessment and evaluation were all encompassed in this course to ensure that candidates would be able to effective design instruction that is tailored to the individual students. The lessons, assessments and evaluations created and strategies were beneficial to all candidates and can be utilized for future use in classrooms. In addition, Jing and Animoto were utilized to enhance teaching and learning experiences.
