Instructional Development outcome like a movie?

Instructional Development is all about taking various elements within the same subject and bringing it together for the purpose of learning. I like to compare it to a good movie. A good movie usually has a solid plot, excitement throughout, somethings revealed that you did not know in the beginning and a acceptable ending that will either have you content or give you that thirst to find out more about the movie. This is the same with Instructional develpment. There are so many things integrated that needs to get the job done. Here is my Final Project for my Selection and Integration class that taps into my learning experience. Click here

Creating a 21st Century Classroom

Being that I do not have my own class to teach yet and investigate whether it fits in the 21st century classroom. I did the walkthrough on a class that I am taking now and the results weren't bad in terms of the checklist. I learned that there are many adjustments that instructors need to make to fit this checklist. Some are open to it but others are kind of stubborn in their ways. At the end of the day, Instructors/Teachers need to realize that this is how students are learning nowadays and the focus is the engagment of the student, not their comfort level. This checklist had may points that most people wouldn't think of implementing in their lessons and/or courses. Click here to view my MNW Walkthrough Form.
