network with social

Course Objective 2: Students
will have the opportunity to
build a personal learning
network using social media.
Note: This objective is one of
six objectives for this course.
Each "week" may align with
one or more objectives.
Students will seek out and
follow educational
professionals on Twitter.
Students will articulate
advantages and disadvantages
of using socially networked
tools for learning.
Note: You may have one or
more learning strategies. If the
learning strategy does not
support the objective, it should
be revised. Be sure that you
have at least one learning
strategy for each objective to
help students reach that
objective.
Students will summarize
their experiences in
seeking out educational
professionals and
considering the use of
socially networked tools
for learning through the
discussion board.
Individual feedback will
be provided.
Note: In this course,
students will prepare an
infographic based on this
information in a
subsequent week. This
discussion board is the
first assessment activity in
the progression to a more
formal assignment.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/cpsconfslides2019-190924194404/85/Best-Practices-in-Learning-Design-13-320.jpg)

Best Practices in Learning Design
The document outlines best practices in learning design, focusing on the alignment of objectives, learning strategies, and assessments to enhance student learning. It emphasizes the use of Bloom's taxonomy and provides a framework for creating an alignment matrix that supports active learning. Participants are encouraged to apply these concepts to their courses through collaborative discussions and resource sharing.

- 20. Application to Your Courses Take1 minute to... Silently, consider one of your courses (or learning experiences) where you want to be sure that there is alignment across the course objectives, learning strategies, and assessment strategies. Find a partner or two to share the course you've been thinking about and how you might use the matrix. There are handouts at your table that include Bloom's taxonomy as well as a list of verbs that can be used in writing objectives and an alignment matrix. Write any questions you have for us on the notecards provided at your table. We will collect and address these. Think about your take aways from today. 20
