I could totally see myself having a ball with anchored instruction but for very different reasons than most. I teach elementary technology and often have my students make tutorials and teaching aids for younger audiences. Doing this serves as remediation for students preparing for the EOGs and gives them a good background in a variety of different and new technologies. I can visualize brainstorming sessions to write the story line, creative writing to write the scripts for the videos, kids with cameras and tripods filming their friends acting out the drama, kids busily editing the videos to make them just right, and finally, the website team uploading the pictures and video while others worked on the layout and text that explains the challenge. Then when they’ve finished, I can see these same kids as teachers, guiding the younger students through the challenge.
I greatly appreciated the examples that were included in the unit this week. I was having a difficult time reading the text as it was extremely repetitive. I spent a lot of time on the Jasper Series website reading through the examples there and feel like I got a pretty good handle on the AI design principles. I think it would be interesting to try and build a template to make creating anchored instruction modules a bit easier.
