Effective teaching through visual design and development of technical training principles...3/2/2019 All of the readings this week connect to the sense making that our students are constantly doing as they decipher and make sense of the learning activities that take place in our classrooms. While we, as instructors, find value in the content that we are teaching, it is up to us as designers of learning experiences to make engaging and relatable materials for our students (users) so they can effectively process the chunks of information we are disseminating, with the end goal of moving through working memory and into long term memory transfer. Dervin explains how our students reach gaps in understanding and through effective instruction we can help them to bridge those gaps through learning events. Both Baggio, through visual design principles, and Clark, through effective structure of technical training modules, speak to the effective design elements that are required to design teaching tools that will ensure our students are learning at high level on a consistent basis.

Unlike Dervin, this was a such a pleasantly easy read! Thank you for putting so much information into such a visually kind format. My old eyes are very thankful. I like the way you organized the information by chapter. This blog would make a nice slide deck!

Brandon, I have so much admiration for your ability to absorb Dervin and process for us! You're my hero! Also, I would literally love for you to do a mini lesson on how you were able to format this blog so nicely with the bullets and indentations! I have struggled with formatting on Weebly for awhile now. Help!

Jona, you are too sweet! I wish that I could take credit for the formatting but I cannot. I do all the writing in google docs and then copy/paste my already formatted material into the blogpost. i agree with you though, Weebly does not have the best editing/formatting options.

Hi Brandon, you took awesome notes on all of our reading this week! I like what you wrote about teachers being designers of learning experiences. I agree that we need to make our content engaging and relatable to our students. I liked what we read in Baggio’s book about context, and the benefits of teaching a lesson “in” context as well as ”out” of context.

I am completely out of the habit of reading academic text like that of Dervin and Clark. My brain was hurting after all of it....but being able to compare notes is helping me to see what I missed and what resonated with me in my own understanding of the text and the similarities and differences in our notes is helping me to gain a better understanding of it all!
