I think PowerPoint is a very good form of Interactive Learning Resource. When I read the document, I can understand the key points you emphasized in a very simple and direct way. It is also very interesting and a good start. Before introducing the interactive learning resources, you first provided some discussion for me to follow along with your ideas. That’s very good. Before I understand this resource, I can think about these questions, which will help me to understand this resource in a deeper way.
In the design of other contents, I think you have done a great job, not only the clear introduction of the text but also other resources such as pictures, which are enriched the interactive learning resources. In the technology use, you wrote about the universal design for learning which was all about supportive and inclusive practices in classrooms. And I thought maybe you could give some examples of what it means, and reconnect it with classroom inclusion so that it’s a little bit more clear to us as readers.
For your assessment plan, you designed it to make us think and our statements must be answerable with “yes”, “no”, or “I will try”. It’s a very good idea. But perhaps you might consider in the activity section: “Choose your bear request from each group member and have them read it out for the group to respond to.” You can design some parts that can be completed by a single person. Because of the current epidemic, we may have some problems in time and distance to contact our team members.
Overall I think the interactive learning resources in Pod 5 are very interesting. You have chosen an instructional approach that is very much in line with your topic, and you have used text and pictures, and videos to explain and analyze it. The assessment plan also revolves around the theme, so that readers can deepen their understanding and think about the theme through the evaluation plan.
