Blog Post #5

Hi Meaghan,

Thank you for your informative and thoughtful post! Your examples clearly illustrated what it means to provide alternatives and different pathways for students, i.e., different options for assignment formats, or offering necessary technological support for students’ online learning tasks. Your personal experience as a camp leader perfectly shown how to make use of backward design in real pedological conditions, as it is certainly structural and organized. Responding your comment to my post, I do not mean to prioritize the teaching stage over the planning stage, but to say that they work together towards a successful learning experience for the students. One can see if the several sizes of clothing they have provided in their plans fit the students during the actual teaching processes, and use this experience to enhance the future teaching designs.

I enjoy reading your blog and thank you for sharing!
