Although I had heard of many of the terms in this week's chapter, one thing that I really enjoyed learning about was Wellivers Instructional Transformation Model. It states that there are 5 hierarchical stages through which teachers integrate technology into their classrooms. In order they are: familiarization, utilization, integration, reorientation, and finally revolution. The stage names describe how well technology is used by that teacher.
Another thing that was discussed this week was instructional design models. I had only heard of Bloom's Taxonomy before this week. I didn't realize how many other models there are! Some other models include Merrill's First Principles of Instruction where learning is problem based and in the phases of integration, activation, application, and demonstration, and the ADDIE Model in which students are evaluated through analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Other models include Kemp's Instructional Design Model and Gagne's 9 Events of Instruction. Both of these include 9 steps to follow to educate students. Finally, there is Kirkpatrick's 4 Levels of Training Evaluation which are: reactions, learning, transfer, and results. All of these models can be used even though Bloom's Taxonomy is the most popular.
