Online Lesson

This was my first ever creating an online lesson. The exploration of it was out of my norm but very interesting and fun. I acquired a lot of knowledge in creating this lesson with the Imagination Station team. It was interesting to see it all unfold. All the conversations we had, contemplating decisions we had to deliberate on, the fun we had changing so much around. It was great, even if we were from different cities or time zones. It was a lot of hard work and long nights but I think as a team we came up with a great lesson. This is a great way of motivating and engaging the learner into a new way of acquiring knowledge. It opens up the door to so many different places for learner to be able to go beyond the classroom textbooks.

How to write a proposal lesson - (final)

Ok so I have finally finished my lesson. Hope you enjoy it.


In this lesson, the graphics used are simple and clean. I used a whiteboard, a sheet of paper, and a woman narrator. I desired for the focus to be on the lesson and not on unnecessary items. For example in the lesson, I used a white square, which I simulated as a piece of copy paper and provided the information on the paper. It created a basis for the learner to understand how a proposal should appear once it is completed. This provided extra learning without actually verbalizing it. Learners can mimic it. As I completed this lesson, I have realized that the lesson has used more than three of the principles I mentioned prior. In the lesson, I considered breaking it up for a smoother understanding without overloading the learner with information. The intent was to provide the information in a clean fashion. In addition, the lesson does not contain many words for the learner to read. The words used for reading are quick reminder words that can be stored in the memory bank without all the unnecessary vocabularies. This engages and motivates the learner because s/he can retain the information.

My Flash Lesson Pt 2

Ok so I have been working on this lesson for about a good week. I have done sketches and written a script. In this lesson, I am using many concepts to the lesson. I am using a narrator, some graphics and words. I think it's coming out pretty well. I have a lot to cover on this lesson but in the end it's going to be great. I can't wait to see how it turns out. 
The graphics I have chosen are a whiteboard, a woman narrator, and in the future an image of what a proposal may appear like. I have chosen these items because the narrator is the decorative type of the proposal and brings a sense of connection with the learner. The whiteboard provides the classroom representation. It provides the learner with a location and brings about the classroom environment mindset. 
The design principles used in the lesson are multimedia, modality, and personalization principles. I have chosen to use these principles because the topic on hand is fashioned for young adults who are in need of a clear understanding of how to create a proposal. The use of words and graphics allow for a clear understanding on the subject. In this lesson, the narration is provided by audio because the subject is a topic that can be uninviting if it is all in text. The audio enables for a conversational style of speaking and draw attention to the learner. I feel that these are the best principles chosen for this particular topic. 

Check it out. Let me know what you think.
