This module has helped me to think about using standards, CFQ's, or formative assessments in the following ways...
I learned about several formative assessments and how they help us differentiate students work based on the information we gather. I am also able to use these assessments to modify and validate my instruction. When planning I incorporate CFQ's to allow students to reflect and evaluate during the lesson. Students created writing journals to reflect on the Life Cycle of Pumpinks unit and they wrote on their desk with water makers to draw all they new about pumpkins. Children enjoyed doing this and it was a great way to assess them.

This module has made me think about my role as an instructional designer in the following ways..
This module has made me think about new ways to engage students in their learing. Giving students real life events and scenarios to solve problems is more meaningful to them. PBL gives children to opprtunity to explore in cooperative groups and find solutions together. Instead of giving them the solution to the problem students explore together and explain how they solve the problem.
