Notes and ideas can go on this page Hi Kelly, I am sorry that I did not read the "Needs Assessment" article by Allison Rossett sooner. I don't know if it is too late to include this, but she lists factors in doing needs assessment: Optimal Performance, Actual Peformance, Feelings, Causes, and Solutions. Also, I am looking for the page for the quote I put in from this article. Will text you with it when I find it. I am fine to let you go ahead and work. Thanks, Ken Hi Kelly, Sorry if this is redundant, but when I was first writing this out last night when I was very tired and didn't think I did it justice. (I had this done up in outline format, but when I saved it, it all left justified.) I am thinking that the means are finite whereas the subject matter is infinite. So it seems like the best place to start would be the means: 1. Technology A. Types of technology: powerpoint, videos, etc. online simulations 1) Within each type, there are a variety of techniques and formats that can be used to present concepts. 2. Educational Technology A. ARCS I like ARCS but do the following items in this list help create ENGAGING lessons ? B. Behaviorist C. Cognitive 1.) If it seems to fit, I thought one way we could demonstrate reducing Cognitive Load would be to show a slide of the order topics are taught in my traditional text and then suggest considering if another order might be more conducive for learning. The next slides would reorder the topics one at a time into the headings that Tom Clark suggests in Videotext. I still the idea of talking about Cogn Load. D. Constructivist E. Gagne's Nine Events F. Instructional Objectives G. (These are all the major areas I can think of that we have been taught.)

Action plan: Ken do research on SME : engaging math lessons (Algebra) Kelly work on surveys; and uploading Jim's template surveys are done; waiting on feedback from Ken; template is copied/pasted onto a wiki page  Who we survey? classmates, other Comet groups (run through Jim)
