Perfection is neither a goal nor an option in [instructional] design all design involves
trade-offs, even the most elegant and widely admired designs (Smith & Ragan, 2005). This
quote reminds me of how instructional design is like buying a house. The buyer has certain
criteria that he/she wants to meet: location, good school district, a certain number of bedrooms
and bathrooms, a garage, a backyard. The list continues on. However, as the buyer searches
through house after house, he/she will realize that the perfect house does not exist, and in some
cases, sacrifices and trade-offs are made. However, the ultimate goal is to purchase a house that
has as much of the criteria as possible. Once the house is purchased, updates can be made to
continue to work towards the perfect house. The house will never be perfect, but the buyer will
make it as close as possible to perfection. Instructional design is the same. A designer can never
have perfection and will constantly be updating. However, he/she will look to include certain
criteria and include as much of that criteria as possible. He/she will have to make sacrifices
during the process for an unending list of reasons: malfunctioning technology; problems with
students; a change in curriculum. Keeping this in mind, as stated in the quote, perfection is not
the ultimate goal in the design process (or in the process of a buying a house). The ultimate goalis to develop and continue developing projects because technology and society itself is forever
changing.
In consideration that perfection is not the ultimate goal, I find that I myself have not
strived for perfection in my ID Project. From the beginning of the semester, I found comfort in
the fact that perfection was not to be achieved. I do, however, find this to also be challenging
because I am a perfectionist. I struggled each week when I found that my colleagues did not find
my assignments to be perfect; in fact, each week, there was always a suggestion on how to
update and perfect it. I realize now that instructional design does not have to be perfect, and it
never will be. For example, during the ID Project design, there are many things that I have
updated. However, I feel like it will be an ongoing process because as I update one thing,something else needs to be changed. And as I continue with the different interviews and trial
runs, I expect there to be more updating required prior to the actual implementation of the
project. Even after the project is completed by the students, I expect to update it again for next
time.
My ultimate goal is to become an instructional designer for a school district. The
designing part is actually my favorite thing about teaching, which is why my future plans
involving designing instruction. As an instructional designer, I could definitely see using these
methods to help teachers implement technology into their classrooms. For example, I could
develop training classes for teachers that will show them how to use the technology themselves
and will help them prepare to use the technology in the classroom with the students. I could also
see helping a teacher actually implement a technology tool into their classroom, as I am doing
right now. I especially like how I can make the project instructions general so that they can be
used again, either by the same teacher for a different project or by a different teacher.
Instructional design has a lot to offer, and is especially important to consider for a school district.
It is important to actually plan out the use of technology and not just use it for the sake of using

it. As an instructional designer, I hope to one day be able to show a school district the proper
way to implement technology.

Part 1. Topic
Part 1a. Stated learning goal.
Using Glogster, desktop computers, media, cameras, and/or microphones, learners willcreate a multimedia presentation (Glogster) incorporating visual images, sounds, videos,
and written language to compare importance of appearance in the society found in thebookUglies to their own modern society.
Part 1b. Description of the audience.
The ten learners are part of a Reading Acceleration class and have varying levels of
understanding. Students are all considered to be below reading level for their age and
grade level, are in Special Education classes, and tend to need extra time and assistance
on assignments.
Part 1c. Rationale.
1. I chose this topic because I felt, as 21st Century learners, all students should have theopportunity to explore various tools that are becoming increasingly more important in
careers, jobs, and other aspects of society. The students frequently are familiar with Web
2.0 tools, but often they are not completely versed in exploring these tools. For example,
although many students have previously used Glogster for assignments, I am quite certain
they have not used all aspects of Glogster, such as recording or video. I wanted to
introduce them to many different aspects of Glogster to make sure they were well versed
on each step that it takes to create a proper online poster.2. I find that my overall strategy is a combination of both generative and supplantive. For
one, the students already have an understanding of the workings of Glogster, seeing as
they have used it previously in other classes. These students also have an understanding
of searching and saving images from Google. This points to a generative strategy
because the students already have previous knowledge and understanding of the topic.
There will be little scaffolding on these points because of their prior knowledge.
Scaffolding is not as necessary. However, since the majority of the students have never
recorded anything with a microphone and saved it as a sound file, this is where it
becomes a supplantive strategy. Students will require more facilitation when completing
this task. They will not be able to use prior knowledge to complete this part of the task.
3. The major instructional strategy that this assignment would be classified is Problem-Solving Instruction. Problem-solving involves taking prior knowledge (such as
concepts, declarative knowledge, and procedures) and assimilating this information in
order to solve a problem or task. Each step of the task could be a simple or complex
procedure which then will give the students the foundation to synthesize the information

5/39
into one interactive poster. I originally would have classified the instructional strategy as
procedure; however, because the steps are ambiguous and need extra attention for each, it
would make more sense to classify it as problem solving.
4. The reason I would classify this assignment as a problem solving is because it is a morecomplex form of procedure. Each step is a procedural in that students must do the first
thing before they move onto the next. However, each step in the procedure requires more
thought and work. For example, when the students are required to record their sound file,
they must open Sound Recorder, click record, and speak into the microphone. Before
being able to record, they must analyze a section of the book and respond to a prompt in
order to prepare their response.
Part 2. Analysis Report
Part 2a. Description of the Need
Part 2a.1
In order to investigate the needs of the learners, I conducted a needs survey, which was
given in person. The questions focused on their use of technology, computers, the
Internet, e-mail, and Glogster. There were ten learners who received the surveys duringtheir class time. I was not present at the time this survey was given. See Appendix 1.
Part 2a.2
I developed a needs analysis to determine the weaknesses of my students with regards tothe assignment that I developed on Glogster. I went into this assignment knowing that
many, if not all, of my students would already have used Glogster for previous classes.
However, I also knew that they did not have much experience with it, and they alsowould not have had experience with all aspects of Glogster. As is shown in the following
graph, the majority of the students are familiar with Glogster. Out of the ten students that
took the survey, seven stated that they have used Glogster for other projects (70%),
particularly in class, while three students have no experience with Glogster (30%).

6/39
After seeing the results of this part of the survey, I started to question the rationale behind
the assignment. However, I continued to look over the survey and found some otherinteresting pieces of information. Although 70% of the students claimed they had
experience with Glogster, only 30% claimed that they had experience with recording on a
microphone and uploading a sound file to Glogster.
-
7/29/2019 ID Project: Building an Interactive Poster (Glogster) to Analyze a Novel
7/39
I found this to be interesting because Glogster is an interactive poster. This means thatit has access to, not only text and pictures, but also sound files and videos. This is distinct
from a handcrafted poster made using poster board because it involves skills required for
the 21st
Century. However, from the survey results, the students have not accessed one of
these important skills: recording from a microphone. This is a basic skill needed for the21st Century, but many of the students do not have experience with it. This tells me that
the students only used Glogster as a glorified handmade poster with pictures and text.
This also tells me that they must not have ever created their own videos or sound files.
This aspect alone shows me that this assignment is a perfect one for this group.
Part 2b. Description of the Learning Context
Part 2b.1 Learning context.
The students attend Burrell High School, a school district about twenty minutes outside
of Pittsburgh. Lower Burrell and Upper Burrell make up the school district, which isunique, in that it is both considered rural and a city. The ten students, as stated
previously, are considered to be below age and grade level in their reading and math
skills. All students attend Special Education classes provided by the district. This
particular class is called Reading Acceleration, and is meant to help students try to closethe gap on their reading skills.
In the classroom, there are currently twenty five working desktop computers, a projector,
and a Smart board. The computers are well maintained and normally, there are no
problems with connection. All students have access to their own Burrell e-mail accountand a U: Drive (on which they can save their own work and access it from other
computers).

The teacher has been teaching the same class for many years. There is no curriculum set
for the district, so the teacher is very flexible in what she decides to teach to the students.The teacher provides the students with discussion questions that help them go from
Knowledge level understanding to Synthesis/Evaluation levels of understanding. She is
also a very pleasant and helpful person in general, and typically does not get upset over
issues. She is very flexible and is willing to work with the struggling students whennecessary. The students generally like and respect her.
Part 2b.2 Transfer context.
As I have stated, the skills required to build a Glogster poster are considered 21 st Century
skills. The ability to search for images online could come in handy for building webpages
or even writing blogs. A website is obviously a very visual aspect for an organization or a
company. In order to take advantage of this, the students will need to be able to searchproperly for images that will represent the content on the website well and offer more of
an explanation. Another skill is the ability to record sound using a microphone. With the
rampant increase of blogs and podcasts, learners should know how to record using a
microphone so that they can share more information online. It is important to use morethan just textboxes online. For example, learners may need to provide step by step
instructions for people who are blind. Recorded information would come in handy for
this.
Part 2c. Description of the learners.The learners are considered to be 21st Century learners: technology is tied into many
aspects of their lives, personally and professionally. These students frequently text and
use their computers for Social Networking. The students are frequently bombarded or
overloaded with technology at school. Many teachers choose to use technology for thesake of using it. They do not take into consideration the best methods for producing an
assignment or project when it comes to the incorporation of technology. Interestinglyenough, when students were questioned on the survey about whether they prefer writingby hand or typing, 20% of the students prefer typing of writing by hand. This means that
80% prefer writing by hand, even though these students are considered 21 st Century
learners. My instruction is directly affected by this because, going into the project, I
know that these students will probably feel annoyed that, once again, they are beingforced to type. This may have an effect on the outcome of their assignment and the
quality of the project that they produce.

ATTENTION
A.1 Perceptual Arousal
Students will view a teacher-created example of Glogster to be able to see what all will be
involved in creating one of their own. The teacher will explain each section of the Glogster and
give them some tools to use for each one.
A2. Inquiry Arousal
Students will be asked to explain their own view on the importance of physical appearance in
their own lives. How does it affect them in school? At home? How does it affect their
perceptions of themselves? If there is time, teacher will show videos/photos of models and
discuss the societys views on the models/actors/etc.
A3. Variability
Students will share their own opinions and perceptions on the importance of physical
appearance. They will write and record responses to prompts, and they will also support their
perceptions with school-appropriate photos that they find.
RELEVANCE
R1. Goal orientation
Students will be introduced to the goals and guidelines of the project. Because these students
have learning disabilities and IEPs, steps will be taken prior to the assignment to prepare them
for the project. Also, a pre-test was given to see with what the students were comfortable
regarding the assignment.
-
7/29/2019 ID Project: Building an Interactive Poster (Glogster) to Analyze a Novel
18/39
R2. Motive matching
Although the students will all be following the same instructions, they are writing and recording
their own text and opinions. They will also be finding their own pictures and will have many
choices for the design of their Glogster.
R3. Familiarity
Students will have already discussed the novel along the way and have prepared answers for
some of the assignments. Students will also be relaying their own perspectives and filling in
using their own experiences.
CONFIDENCE
C1. Learning requirements
Students will be reminded of the ultimate goal of the assignment each day and will see the daily
objectives posted. Students will also be given rubrics to ensure that they are completing the
assignments correctly.
C2. Success opportunities
Students will then be able to search for photos, create text boxes on Glogster, and use a
microphone to make a recording for Glogster. They will also hopefully take what they learned
from the book about physical appearances and be able to identify the flaws in only looking at
physical appearance when judging others.
C3. Personal control
Students will be given the objectives for each day and will frequently be reminded of the overall
goal. Students will also have access to various rubrics and step by step instructions to ensure that
they are following the guidelines.
SATISFACTION
S1. Natural consequences
Students will use their skills to share their opinions on prompts based on a novel that they read.
The teacher is giving the students a chance for the students to think about how this story relates
to their own lives through this assignment.
-
7/29/2019 ID Project: Building an Interactive Poster (Glogster) to Analyze a Novel

S2. Positive consequences
Teacher will consistently assist students and commend them on their work. The teacher will also
have the students share their work with each other.
S3. Equity
The teacher will give students feedback on the assignment and will have students share their
work with each other.

Part 5. Learner Content
Part 5.a. Learning Materials
See Appendix for materials.
Appendix 2: This document is to be used to record their responses toquestions posed by the expert teacher, specifically concerning the novel
that they are reading. This material is necessary because the students need
step-by-step procedure to be able to complete the task. I included a
checklist for the students because some of the students require this per
their IEP. Having this list will help them to remain organized during the
recording.
Appendix 3: This document is to be used to find pictures according to thespecifications of the expert teacher and the novel. This material is
necessary because the students need step-by-step procedure to be able to
complete the task. I included a checklist for the students because some of
the students require this per their IEP. Having this list will help them to
remain organized as they search for images. Also, the students are more
than likely unaware of searching for images that have a Creative
Commons license, which is important to teach them. This page also
includes the information.
Appendix 4: This document is to be used to be together the Glogster.Although there are some open-ended parts of this assignment, putting
together the Glogster is very specific. The students must include text,
sound, and images. This page will walk them through, step-by-step.
Again, there is a checklist for those students who need it to stay organized.

Part 5.c. Technology Tool Justification
Glogster: I chose to use this technology tool because of the many parts that are combinedtogether to make one project. In the 21
stCentury, students should know how to complete
certain tasks. This could include: copying and pasting text from a document; recording a
file; searching for images that are legal to use and redistribute; and emailing a link. Many
students are unfamiliar with these steps, and for this reason, Glogster seemed to fit
perfectly into what students should be expected to do. Many of the students stated that
they are more comfortable writing by hand instead of typing. I feel that this is a problem,
considering the way society is heading. They should be able to complete these tasks and
feel comfortable doing them.
Flickr- Creative Commons: I chose to use this website because students are unaware ofthe Creative Commons license and are not familiar with copyright. They think that if an
image is on Google Images or online, it is safe to redistribute. However, this is not the
case. I want them to realize this and to also know where to go to search for legal images,
safe for redistribution.
Microphones and Sound Recorder: In future jobs, students will probably be required torecord something and be able to upload it to a website. For example, they might have to
create a podcast. One way to complete this is by using microphones and Sound Recorder.
Computers: In future jobs, I have no doubt that students will be expected to becomfortable using a computer. I feel as though students really do not know as much aboutcomputers as they should because normally, they use them for social networking
(Facebook, Twitter) and for watching videos. Using a computer to type, record, and
search legal pictures will definitely be a change of pace for them.

Part 6. Formative Evaluation Plan.
6a. Expert Review:
This project was created for high school students, grades 9-12 in a Reading Acceleration class.The teacher utilizing this project will be a reading teacher, Mrs. Williams-Slosky. A survey will
be given the week of April 23rd
to this one reading teacher. The teacher will have two days to
complete the survey. From this survey, I will be able to make adjustments accordingly. Thequestions asked will include:
1. Do you believe that the process of creating a Glogster will be beneficial to thestudents?
2. Are the objectives developmentally appropriate for these students?3. Do you feel that any steps should be broken down further for the students?4. Will all of the students be able to access their email accounts?5. Is there any way that I can improve the project?
6b. One-to-One Evaluation:For the one-to-one evaluation, three students from the class will be interviewed. They will not be
shown any of the instructional media at first. If they are unable to answer the questions correctly,then they will be shown the media. The goal is to make sure that the students have a basic
understanding of the media so that they are able to proceed with the assignment. The questions
that will be asked are:
1. What is Glogster?2. What can you do on Glogster?3. Can you name some uses of Glogster?
Observational notes would be made regarding the following items:1. Are the students intrigued by Glogster?2. If a student is unable to answer the question prior to viewing the materials, are they
able to do so afterwards?
6c. Small Group EvaluationFor this evaluation, half of the class, or five students, will complete the tasks outlined in the
instructor guide. The goal is to see if the students can follow the guide without a great deal of
assistance. It is also to make sure that the instructions are understood, with no typos, spelling
errors, etc.
1. Can the students identify the tools and software being utilized (microphone, computer,Glogster, Sound Recorder, Flickr: Creative Commons)?
2. Will students be able to handle the equipment being used appropriately?3. Can students turn on the computers?4. Can students navigate to the websites?5. Can students log in to Glogster?6. Can students plug in the microphones?

6d. Field TrialNow that the goals and materials have been validated for use, the next step is to try the
instruction with a larger group. This will mean that the whole class of ten students will try it out.
This step is to ensure that the steps can easily be followed by all students and also ensure that theteacher can have good classroom management while still maintaining the lesson.
1. Is the teacher able to follow through with the lesson goals using the materialsprovided?
2. Are the materials used appropriately and correctly by the students?3. Is it necessary to have more or less materials?4. Are the students engaged?5. Do problems arise because of confusion at any moment during the instruction?6. Are the students able to complete the tasks for the lesson? If not, why?7. Does the teacher have to make any changes during the instruction? Why?
Part 7. Formative Evaluation Report.
Part 7a. Evaluation Survey or Rubric
1. Do you believe that the process of creating a Glogster will be beneficial to thestudents?
2. Are the objectives developmentally appropriate for these students?3. Do you feel that any steps should be broken down further for the students?4. Will all of the students be able to access their email accounts?5. Is there any way that I can improve the project?
Part 7b. Report the results of the expert review.
The SME feels that the Glogster will be a very beneficial task for her students tocomplete. Her reasoning is that she recognizes the capabilities of her students with
regards to technology. Unfortunately, the students are very familiar and comfortable with
texting and social networks, but not as familiar or comfortable with other technology
tools, such as recording, typing, emailing, and searching for images. As she reviewed the
objectives, she felt that all of the objectives would be developmentally appropriate for the
students. She also felt that the breaking down of the steps in the handouts that were
created for the students will be developmentally appropriate and easy to follow.
One suggestion she did make with regards to the students handouts was to keep all of theinstructions on one sheet of paper, front to back. The reason behind this is because the
students might become confused and overwhelmed having too many sheets of
-

instructions. She also suggested making sure to have all of the student emails and
passwords reset so that they would be able to access them quickly on the day that they
will use them to email the project to her. Overall, however, she felt that the project was
planned well and age appropriate for the students.
Part 7c. Comments on Change.
I actually did not make many changes to the assignment. I created three separatehandouts for the students instead of having many more than that. I decided to make
separate instructions for recording and searching for images because these assignments
will be done prior to actually putting the Glogster together. The third sheet I created was
a compilation of all instructions required for putting together a Glogster. The steps are all
found on one page, and this way, the students can work at their own pace.
Another change that I made was to add in a checklist for the students to help them remainorganized during the assignment. The SME pointed out that some of the students would
most definitely need to use the checklist, while others would not. By supplying them withthis, I am giving all of the students the tools necessary to complete the assignment and to
work at their own pace.
