 * Group Name: Kids in Mind Design **

I love the name you chose. Here are some thoughts on the design. I don't know if I am supposed to write these comments on this page or the "comment for page history" but you can delete it since everyone can get in and edit, right? Kathy ​ How about the Kids In Mind Model? :) This is rough, but you get the idea....took your ideas and ideas from the other designs in class. (Kathy)
 * Ideas for design **
 * 1) ** Motivational piece **
 * 2) ** Analysis of background knowledge **
 * 3) ** Look ahead to the assessment **
 * 4) ** Evaluation that meets that objective **
 * 5) ** Learner analysis **

​K  now learners I nstructional goals D etermine objectives S elect instructional media

I nstructional activity N eeds to be relevant

M otivate I nstruct for mastery N eed repetition for confidence D esign assessment for evaluation

I was just playing with the idea and came up with this possible design document. My document wouldn't paste with the graphic so I figured out how to attach this file! How cool is that! (Kathy) ...just read a ppt. file was suggested so I made the image into a powerpoint....which is more easily edited I guess...still learning (Kathy) 



Wow Kathy. You did a great job. I was also thinking along the lines of an acronym and in a circular design. Great minds think alike! We have all of the components of the ADDIE framework in place. I would like to play around with your powerpoint, if you don't mind to add some animation. Heather

Thanks for the positive feedback, Heather! It 's great to know we are on the same page! I'd love to see what you can do with the powerpoint! My experience is pretty limited, so anything would be an improvement! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

By the way, I missed class due to the flu, so am I correct that we DON"T have class this week and this project is due the following Wed? Is there a presentation in class of this project? Thanks! Kathy We do not have class this week as we are working on this project. We will have to present it with justification for the components we chose for our model. Heather

​ I've updated the powerpoint. See above. We now need to apply our justifications and which model we pulled from to include in our model. Make adustments to ppt as needed, save as Kids in Mind 2 - and we are on our way. Thanks. Heather  I really like what you did with this, Heather!

Maybe Adam & Lauren will want to do the justification part. Also,. some of my wording for the points was a little awkward since I was trying to make it fit the anacronym (sp?) and is open for editing if you or Adam or Lauren want to make any changes. :) Kathy

Heather, I need to change the profile pic on the ppt since the current one is a logo from my school and I don't feel comfortable using it.... I have a new profile pic I made using Paint & a profile of my son...not as cute as the school one (since my son is 19!!) but it serves the purpose. When I tried to change the pic it said the ppt was read only. I attached the file here so you could edit it for me. Thanks! Kathy

​ Here is an updated ppt with new picture. I found one with kids - since that is our Acronym. I don't know how to change the ppt from read only. You have to save it with a new name - make changes and upload it back to this wiki. Heather Perfect! Thanks! (Kathy) Updated again - I started adding some justifications. Just a few more to go ! (Heather)

Wow! I really love what you did with Kids in Mind...very clever! The ppt looks great:-) So would you like me to justify why we chose each component in our framework? I was looking over the ppt and saw that you included some of the components from other design models, so do you want me to start with (K) and work my way down and justify why each compoent is important? (Lauren)

Sounds like a plan! We better save something for Adam to do too.

Hi again! I've added a few justifications...please be honest and let me know what you think. I think I tended to run on in some places so if you would like to suggest revisions, please don't hesitate. I am trying to upload what I have done and saved to the ppt...so be on the lookout, it should be up momentarily (Lauren)  Justifications are in place and look good. I added some more effects to the ppt. That's all we have to do now is determine who is going to present what next Wednesday. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">(Heather) I found some typos on the justifications I wrote, I have since fixed. (Lauren) <span style="color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">

I emailed Adam to remind him to see what he wants to add. Also, I just found out I have pneumonia and am going to the hospital tomorrow to err on the side of caution. ...so I may not make it Wednesday. Glad I contributed early to our project. I am confident you ladies will come up with an excellent final product! thank you for all of your hard work! Kathy

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better. Lauren


 * Ladies, Sorry I haven't been able to participate until now. I had some personal issues. I see you have already gone to town on this. It looks incredible. Do you want me to come up with examples for each ​component? (Adam) **

I do have a question about our model. Do we need to identify on the wheel where it starts for someone seeing it for the first time, or is that not necessary due to being obvious with the justification slides? (Adam)

Kathy, I hope you feel better soon. Adam

How about if Kathy explains the KIDS part, Adam the IN part, and I'll do the MIND part. Adam, having examples is a good idea - see if you can come up with some to go with each component. We might not have that much time to go into detail for each component, though. I am also going to run a little late next Wednesday due to a County Central IEP meeting. It starts at 2:30 - but those of you in teaching know how they can run over sometimes. So that's why I chose to do the last component. If you have any other suggestions, let me know. Thanks guys. Heather ** Hi All, Will Adam put the examples right on the powerpoint? Lauren, do you want to plan on doing the KIDS part with me and if I am not there due to sickness you can do it alone? We basically just have to read what is on the powerpoint, correct? I think we did a great job together! Kathy <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Hi, I don't think it is necessary for Adam to put the examples on the powerpoint. He could just use notes and add the info. as we go over each step. That should be sufficient, I think. What do you all think? Heather
 * I was thinking that our model obviously centers around children - so each step of the model will begin and end with "kids in mind." The model would begin with Knowing Kids, however, I don't think that each component necessarily goes in any kind of order, since teachers are constantly looking ahead to evaluations, going back to instructional activities, and revising instructional materials, based on what is available. So I guess there is NOT really a consecutive order to our model - which I believe is closer to the reality in the classroom.

I agree, not to put the examples on the ppt. It would clutter, and they are pretty obvious and simple in nature and would insult our classmates' intelligence. Adam

Sure Kathy, I will do the kids section with you. Yes, I think all we have to do is explain what model we got each component from and what it stands for in our particular model, thus explaining the kids in mind acronym. Tomorrow I have reading night at my school and I won't be home until around 8. If you post anything on Monday, I will repsond to you as soon as I get home. I can't access this website from work. I hope you are feeling better. I can definitely do the kids part alone on Wednesday if you aren't well enough to come to class, no problem. Talk to you soon! Lauren

I noticed that on the first slides the first two of the Kids In Mind points are bolded but the rest are not. Do we need to fix this or do you think it matters? (guess it depends if anyone feels like doing it!) I agree that the examples shouldn't go on the powerpoint. Otherwise, looks like we are ready to go. Thanks everyone. Still not sure if I'll be there Wednesday, but I hope so. I have a doctor's appointment Wed. and I'll know more then. "Break a leg!" :)Kathy

Hi All, I don't think the points are bolded, I think they are different font sizes. The longer text has a smaller font to fit in the information on one slide, the other points have a bigger font. We could make it all the smaller size font if you like. I can make the changes if you would like. What does the rest of the group think about the appearance of the slide? Lauren

I'm a details person so would like them all to be the same if you wouldn't mind bothering, Lauren! I guess it would look more professional, too! :) I appreciate you doing all the work on the slides! (Kathy)

Sure, I'll fix it. I'm going to save it to my flash drive and fix it on there. I will bring it to class tomorrow. Lauren

Okay so I fixed the bold points and made sure the fonts were the same size on the opening slide. I think it looks good to go but take a look and let me know what you think. I can make any necessary changes:-) Lauren

Lauren, I think it looks great. I didn't even notice the difference prior to the change. Adam

I realized that we may not be able to meet before we present to make any edits to my little notes in case I interpreted something incorrectly, so I have attached the document. Adam
