Chapter 9 Overview

Chapter 9 Summary               

-         -  Just the facts indented
(application and reminders – bracketed)

(Create a lesson prototype to save time and serve as a base for all lessons)

-         -  Create working backwards from the goal or objective
-          - There are many free LMS servers, school districts also often have an LMS
-         -  Modules are better for lessons, folders for non-sequential content

Engaging and Orienting Students with an Orientation

-         -  Tie to real world activity (avoid creating busy work by over doing this)
-         -  Tie to an activity
-        -   Make sure to state objective clearly and include a summary (give a bare bones synopsis of what you are wanting to accomplish that goes with the real world scenario – this also helps those of us who do not want to be bogged down with a lengthy wordy story line)
-          - Make sure to hyperlink to navigate between parts of the site

Organizing Lesson Activities Online

-          - Make sure that organization has a linear progression instead of organizing by type.

Make the Home Page a Hub

-          Update often, and make sure information is easy to find quickly
(Most relevant information can be easily found on the Homepage)

Usability for Start to Finish

-         -  Create navigation and streamline usability for easy access
-         -  Brevity
 (Have several people test the site before launch)
