Questions for Formulating Significant Learning Goals

"A year (or more) after this course is over, I want and hope that my colleagues will Continue to integrate technology into their classrooms for student engagement and creation.”

My Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) for the course is: Learners will create a blended learning environment for their classroom which provides their learners Choice, Ownership, and Voice through Authentic learning opportunities.

analyze the G-suite applications and ways they can be used by their students

Determine which unit they want to convert to a blended learning experience and which applications they want to start with.

Integration Goals 

What connections (similarities and interactions) should students recognize and make…:

• Among ideas within this course?

• Among the information, ideas, and perspectives in this course and those in other courses or areas?

Learners will establish when they will incorporate the blended learning environment to maximize student engagement.

Human Dimensions Goals
