After reading Baggio and Clark I have a clearer vision of how to deliver new content to my students. The SITE model is a great reminder that students need to be connected to the material that is being delivered. It is important to think about the learner as a whole. What are their interest, family background and community influences? When designing a poster, a PowerPoint presentation or just the standup delivery of a lesson, having mastery of a prerequisite skill is important. While analyzing the ‘Technical’ part of SITE, I realized how important it is to collaborate with the grade level below and above the grade that you are teaching. This type collaboration will be helpful to designing a lesson that flows, uses prior knowledge and allows for chunking of new (grade level) material.
Baggio reminded me of how important it is to design a layout with minimal text, flowing from left to right and top to bottom. I feel that this is starting to come more natural to me as I design slides to deliver new content. I know that just in my last presentation, I feel that the slides looked cleaner and more visually pleasing. The hardest part about this design method is trying to find the right image and that supports the message that you are trying to deliver. Someday that too will become more natural and less time consuming.
