Module Two
"How does instructional design impact P-12 student learning?"
The instructional design impacts P-12 student learning in a positive manner and starts in tier one. The direct instructional model can be applied throughout any tier of instruction to best benefit students. In literacy, I see guided practice happen all the time in a small group setting called guided reading. This develops student’s reading fluency and comprehension skills that best meet the students needs. The teacher is modeling how to read in whole group literacy and in guided reading providing a reteach of skills to students if needed for best practices in literacy instruction. I have also seen direct instruction throughout all concepts across multiple grade levels. In first grade, the first grade teachers use it to also teach procedural concepts such as ways to follow our school rules which are being respectful, responsible, problem solver, and safe. The educators model what this looks like, they create an anchor chart with students to reference throughout the year and ask open ended questions to describe what this looks like in the hallways, on the playground, in the cafeteria, classroom, restroom, etc. It is important to use the direct instruction model throughout all content areas including factual, procedural, and conceptual knowledge. This allows high impact of instructional designing student learning throughout P-12 classrooms.

Part II: 21st Century Tool
Tool: Flipgrid
The purpose of this tool is for students to demonstrate their knowledge on any content knowledge. Students can record videos of themselves explaining different concepts such as solving an equation, retelling a story using a five finger retell, demonstrating their knowledge on a concept map, sharing their thoughts about a historical event, using the scientific method and explaining their hypothesis, describing a piece of art designed by particular artists, describing the rules and procedures of a game in Physical Education class, etc. There are many purposes of this tool. Teachers can make the videos where only they can view them or allow students access to watch other students videos and comment to respond to the students videos they watched. This engages students in interactive learning and allows them a way to demonstrate their knowledge of any concept in any content area.
The technology knowledge needed would be creating qr codes for students to scan in to the educators particular lesson on Flipgrid. Educators would also need to go to the settings and create the kind of access they would prefer for students such as allowing comments or making the videos viewable to all students. The students submit the videos and they will appear under the lessons created for the teacher to view or others in the class to view. It is really easy to understand once the educator gets on and becomes familiar with the application. It can be downloaded on ipads for students to access and use in the classroom.
This tool would work with the direct instructional model as it is a way for students to demonstrate their understanding of the topic presented during the presentation and guided practice. Students could use this after they completed the independent practice to use their words to explain and describe what they did to solve mathematics equations or for literacy retelling of a story. Flipgrid can be used across a multitude of conceptual knowledge to engage the student in their learning and also make them aware of what they are understanding in the learning process. Students will also become more knowledgeable about certain skills they can improve to reach mastery of a certain concept.
I discovered this tool, Flipgrid, on Instagram @flipgrid. There are more ideas and ways to use Flipgrid available on Instagram for educators and others to use and become more familiar with Flipgrid.
