The rule of three
“If you are interested in something,
you will focus on it, and if you focus
attention on anything, it is likely that
you will become interested in it.
Many of the things we find
interesting are not so by nature, but
because we took the trouble of
paying attention to them.”
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
GOOD DESIGN leaves
blank spaces,surprises
the audience, grabs the
attention and holds it.

You should be teaching
adaptation. Take an activity and
change it a bit. Adapt it to the new
and you get iteration. The condition
is enabling students to another
situation, molding resources.
It is in the multimodality of CALL that
complex theory emerges.”

A Mantra for GOOD LEARNING DESIGN
A Mantra for GOOD LEARNING DESIGN
Transform your past sins into virtues.
Go from greed to simplicity.

Minimalism is good.
Pride no more. Steal like an artist.
The only greediness allowed is being avid for references.

Embrace influence.
Sloth should be exchanged by action.
Design learning experiences.

Design for learning from sins to virtues

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Two types of design: related to aesthetics, beauty, pleasure;the other is Instructional Design, which also brings joy and pleasure to the learning process. What do they have in common? Both if them is about pleasure and engagement. Show my slides and how I have sinned; being greedy with content, transitions, animations, fonts,colors, background. Can you guess What My First Big sin is? Ask them to get a piece of paper or the notes in their cellphones; one part, they put their sins down Plan of action by the end of the workshop
  • #25 Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
  • #30 Stranded Outcome Vanish Evidence Seek Authorities witness
  • #37 Anticipation: Make connections between the classroom and student’s real lives.  “Create the desire to know”. Deepen Expectations: Engage the curriculum in new ways.  Brainstorm and create opportunities to solve a novel problem. Keep it going: Continue the thinking beyond the lesson or classroom.  Find ways to extend learning opportunities at home or even the community
