Goal: Revisit part 2

Immune system – Animations

We used 5 forms of “critical input experiences” for this content.

  • Guided notes with a PowerPoint
  • A set of flowcharts (innate and adaptive)
  • Animations (linked from the powerpoint)/Youtube video
  • Role play – the students generated this in groups and acted it out in class with props they brought from home

Student feedback

I used a GoogleForm as a formative assessment and a way for students to self-report the usefulness of the tools. Here are the results.

What stands out here for me is that students reported animations as useful, but not the most useful way of learning the immune system. There is a wealth of new questions that comes from this data, but when I have 28 hours in my day, I’ll be able to dive into some of those.

Summary

I have found this course to help me develop my use of technological tools. I’ve approached aspects of my goal, but by no means met it. It’s something I’ll be working on, perhaps indefinitely!
