In this final task, you will create your own Learning Goal Maps. After this course, you will be able to log into Solution Tree's website and download whatever resources you'd like to use in your classroom, including the learning goals maps. For the sake of our brief time together, I've created separate Google Docs for each of you below. Each Google Doc has the primary Learning Goal Map already embedded in it.

This post is also a self-guided quest on using game design lenses to make your current curriculum more contemporary. You ultimately get to decide your destination and the impact that this will have on curriculum design, instruction, and assessment. I am going to lay out some thinking points, and you will get to apply them to your current curriculum. I invite you to share any “AHA!” moments that you have in the comments section, so we can collaboratively grow from each other’s ideas and expertise.
Note: You can also lead students through this process to help them think of ways to make products and/or presentations more engaging. Quest Action One: Introduction
Quest Action Two: Analysis
Quest Action Three: Application Note: Your response to these questions are just for you and you are not required to document your answers.
Quest Action Four: Extension Your responses to these questions will be documented in the Comments section. Directions for this are at the end of this blog post.
The goal here is intentional thought about the impact that these game design lenses might have on your curriculum. This is not the same as Gamifying the curriculum, where science content is layered on top of Monopoly or Chutes and Ladders, or where video games might be used to improve content knowledge or motor skills. The is more along the lines of decisions we make about instruction and assessment, and in this case, those decisions include facets of what game designers consider to make their games more engaging, more addictive, and more exciting. We want those same things in curriculum design. Please respond in the comments section to just the Questions in Quest Action Four. Be sure to comment on one or more of the other participants' responses. Hello Thoughtful Learners!
I'm reading through your responses and am making an executive decision. I am going to extend the online workshop through April 5 (Friday) and I'm changing the number of hours earned to 12. The amount of reading made me reconsider the length and the credit, as well as the time involved in the upcoming activities. Please make sure you comment and respond to others' comments as you move through the tasks. I'll add the next task tomorrow! Have a great night, Mike Read Chapters 3, 4, and 5, on design components around Inquiry, Game Design, and Network Design.
Note that the authors specifically addressed these three elements as major components of Contemporary Learning. Please respond to the following and remember to comment on one or more of the other participant's responses.
Read Chapters One and Two in The Quest For Learning.
Answer the following questions related to Chapters 1 and 2, then respond to one or more of the other participant's responses.

Mike Fisher will be your facilitator for this online workshop. Work contact information: (716)-731-6800 ext. 3757 MLFisher@onboces.org Please don't hesitate to contact for anything that you may need! Throughout this 10 day online study please feel free to share anything you have learned thus far and ask any and all questions so that everyone can learn together!

The last date and final day for submissions of this workshop is Wednesday, April 3, 2019. I will submit all names for 10 credit hours upon completion of all your posts. Please be sure to fill out the course evaluation, which generates the list of names to receive certificates (as long as all tasks have been completed.) If you have any required forms that need to be filled out for your district I will be happy to get those sent back to you ASAP. It is your professional responsibility to participate in the workshop to the best of your ability in order to receive the 10 credit hours of PD. I ask that you make a meaningful comment at least once on your own for each post I create and respond to a minimum of one other person's comment per post. Please feel free to give any feedback throughout this course and there will be a final course evaluation given in order to help me better help you! Thank you in advance! |
