Review of Curriculum Connections and Beginning Digital Diagrams, Maps and Webs

We spent the first half of class reviewing over our curriculum connection projects we had previously turned in because there was some confusion about some of the concepts presented. The most common mistakes were made in the objectives and standards sections of the document. Once everyone was clear on what corrections to make we moved on and were introduced to inspiration. Inspiration is just one provided tool in helping teachers design and create their own digital diagrams, maps and webs to help illustrate what they're teaching to their students. We took a quick glance at what other students in the previous classes had designed and then we opened inspiration and spent the remainder of class time learning and practicing how to navigate the page in order to create our own diagrams. Our homework assignment was to decide what topic we each would like to address in our individual diagrams and to design it out on a sheet of paper, find standards to post with it, and a web address to link it all to for additional information. I think this assignment will be fun and I look forward to putting it all together next class. Additional assignments included studying for our mid-term next class and making any needed corrections to our curriculum guides.
