Photo Sharing and Instructional Design - Week 5

To incorporate photo sharing into my lessons, I would have students take pictures of their workout programs and put them in order in a slide show to share with others. Students would be able to use different lifts and stretches for each picture and combine them to form a proper workout session. Each student would then have knowledge of 20 to 30 different workouts that they could implement into their healthy lifestyle. Problems I see in using this type of technology is students will be able to see anything that is posted. If any improper photos were put on then all would see. Also photo fraud and theft is another item of concern with anything put on the web. I feel photo sharing is great because you can show everyone and it is easily accessible to view. You can choose to have your cite set as public or private, but you would need to invite all of your classmates to view. Most photo sharing site are ease to navigate and take very little time and knowledge to manage them.
Analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) are all parts of a lesson plan. The book description is much more technical and wordy then what a general lesson plan entails. In a general lesson plan you first have to figure what the problem is (analysis), than you need objectives that will be worked on to fix the problem (design), from your objectives you will develop how you will teach these objectives and with what material (development), you will also need the correct environment to administer the lesson (implementation), and finally you need to evaluate your lesson by assessing the students with a formative and summative evaluations (evaluations). Most lesson plans are completed by one person, but in Chapter 2 they describe many people being apart of the instructional design. It says that it can be done by one person, but more than likely it is too big for one person to handle. Some of the titles they have given to people on an instructional design team are subject matter expert, and instructional designer, one or more production personnel, clerical support, and a project manager. Most of the characteristics that they give for instructional design fit my general lesson plan theory also. Instructional design and lesson design are learner centered, goal oriented, focuses on meaningful performance, assumes outcomes can be measured in a reliable and valid way, and that it is empirical, iterative, and self correcting.

I love the idea of using photos to show different work out plans and stretches. a person could show each movement in the work out, b/c it is so much easier understnading the excercise by seeing it rather than having it explained to you.

Jacqueline you have a great idea for the use of photography and the photo sharing tools that we learned about this week in the class. I have a minor in Physical Education, and it is a passion of mine. The idea of the students taking pictures of themselves at different points in lifts and to create different workout programs is an awesome idea; personally I am a better learner if I can see someone doing it. In my own life outside of school I think this would be a benefit for everyone to live a life of better health, if you could use these pictures to create workout programs that possible others in the community could use. Excellent idea.
