Week 10
Aligning Goals, Performances & Assessments
Does it “feel” right?
Do UPs engage students in developing exactly those understandings articulated in your UGs? Do criteria for OAs closely relate to goals? Do technology choices actually amplify goals, enhance performances or support assessment in some way?Do these elements address the target of difficuty?

Week 10
Coming up....Project presentation criteria1. Clearly summarize the goals and the design of the unit and
explain its rationale in relation to the most relevant readings from the course.
2. Focus on the way technology is used to improve teaching and learning about a particular “target of difficulty” and specific understanding goals.
3. Highlight dilemmas or insights from the design process.
4. Make a well-crafted succinct presentation in no more than 10 minutes and leave time to discuss the dilemmas or insights posed.
5. If you choose to use technology to support your presentation, take care to demonstrate its affordances as a teaching technology in the way you use it.
Week 10
Presentation Tips Practice explaining to someone who
doesn’t know TfU stuff for clarity--present as if to a lay person
Practice timing--10 minutes speaking, 3-4 for questions Test your technology in advance & have a backup plan While the previous speaker takes questions, comeup and quietly load your presentation
