You never truly appreciate the value of something until you
fully understand the workings behind what is presented at face value.
Teaching may appear easy until you step into the teacher’s shoes and realize
the amount of preparation that the teacher had to go through just to be ready
for a single teaching session.
This was perhaps the most exhausting activity of this
course. I have never felt so drained before in all the other courses and I have
never worked so long on a paper than I have on this activity. I did not realize
that a simple “instructional design” needed so much effort in order to be truly
polished.
Working in groups while at the same time working on
individual instructional designs did help a little, but I do think that working
in groups could have been more helpful at first because generating ideas was
actually a bit difficult on your own and especially since this was our first
time creating an instructional design. Studying the module beforehand and
having advisers available for consulting aided in the process but having a more
comprehensive and clear module and more advisers available would have been of
more help.
All in all, this activity was tiring but effective in teaching us how to work on an instructional design. I know that this will be of use to me in my future career as a PT no matter which field I choose to work in. It always helps to be prepared and organized and this should
be one of the most effective ways of doing just that.
