 * * Week 3/ goal three:

This will help the students have a better understanding of the concept, be able to transfer the knowledge and ultimately score higher on the fcat. || * objective:
 * Given the material presented about higher level thinking skills (week 2) and information on constructing goals and objectives, particpant will form 2 goals and 2 objectives for the science concept/skill they chose (concept/application) ||

Pre-instructional strategy: week three: (attend the optional face-to-face workshop in the computer lab on the first day of each week to introduce the week's assignments)

Message to participants: First, read about constructing goals and objectives and formulate 2 goals and 2 objectives for your project. Next, post these to the discussion forum (week 3) and Review your classmates’ goal and objectives –comment on three. Last, synthesize all this information and reevaluate your goals and objectives to create 2 final goals and 2 final objectives.

1. Participants will create 2 goals and 2 objectives for their concept, given the information they gained from the article (why integrate) and the blooms taxonomy resources (week 2) and the following PowerPoint on writing goals and objectives from coefaculty.valdosta.edu/cbackes/.



Another resource the participants will review is the website that discusses ‘good presentations’. [|Http://www.lynda.com/home/viewcourses.aspx?lpk0=148] []

2. Participants will label their goals and objectives with which higher order thinking skill from the blooms material is being used.

3. Participants will post these on the discussion forum (see tab above). (Participant will post this also in their one note folder on the class’ shared space)

4. Participants will review classmate’s goals and objectives and comment on three different classmate’s goals/ objectives in the discussion forum -see tab above.

5. Participants will rewrite their goals and objectives using information gained from the discussion forum

6. Practice and feedback —students will look at classmates’ decisions and provide feedback to at least 3 following the best practice lists decided upon by the class in week one. Instructor feedback will be on the rubric.

Be sure the objective includes an initial presentation-(How you are going to present the content) and a generative strategy)what the learner will do to interact with the content.
