Week 4: Be specific and congruent!

Be specific and congruent!

After this week (and all the previous ones), I have learned that being specific is exceptionally important when giving instructions to the students, describing a class (setting, needs, classroom problem/issues) creating a technology-enhanced lesson plan, writing ABCD objectives and even when sharing our favorite sites on the class wiki.

Every time I read the instructions on the Google site, on Nicenet.org and the weekly e-mails from Sean, I realize that ¾like Sean's¾  my instructions have to be clearly written, neatly organized and properly delivered. So far, I have mastered the Google site and the weekly assignments because of the congruent layout of the Google site and the constant instructions and reminders from Sean. Although this seems to be an easy task, it is not. Therefore, on my blog reflection for this week, I would  like to recognize Sean's hard and professional work and effort. I am building my teaching skills by looking at his teaching skills.

Thanks for your hard work Sean!

  1. Hi David, I totally agree with you that teachers should be very specific when giving instructions. This is something that I am not good at before but after learning how to write an ABCD objective I think I could do it better. We should all thank Sean and the program!

  2. Dear Li and David,

    I totally agree that the instructions must be detailed and specific, otherwise kids won't understand anything. I think I should think a lot and to correct my ABCD objectives. I am sure we will greatly improve our ways of teaching after we have finished the course.
