Instructional Design for Educators
The videos included here were part of a project I did this past summer. It got interrupted by life and thrown completely off track. The friends for whom I was providing this information were very gracious to me. So, even though the timing is completely wonky, I decided to finish it anyway.
Hi friends, my name is Carla Downing and I'm an applied researcher and metacognition coach sharing what I've learned during my career with others. I'm doing this a couple of different ways. I provide fun content and resources for teachers who want to know more about Instructional Systems Design & eLearning. I also help parents and caregivers understand metacognition so they can help kids become confident, skilled, thinkers and learners. I approach both goals using easy-to-understand language, examples, and activities so people can apply what I share quickly. Much of the success I've achieved in my career has been because I make complex things easy to understand and apply. In fact, I use the monikers Coach Mimzy and Chief Gogy Master to remind myself to keep things light and fun even when we're talking about something complex. After all, learning should be both valuable and fun for you, your kids, your clients...and for me too!
Overview
This video is an overview of the 6-Week Summer Challenge--An experience created for educators who want to know more about Instructional Systems Design & eLearning Development. NOTE: These videos are formatted so you can listen-on-the-move rather than sitting and watching. When I share a visual that’s required to support comprehension, I overtly call it out so you can take a look or return later to check it out.
