ABCD Method for better results

Hi everybody,

First of all Thank You for checking what I've posted, this week I read some articles about the ABCD method, I have never seen this method but it's interesting and helpful to any Teacher or Student who want to improve the objetives in each class.

These are two links to visit The ABCD Method:

http://www.slideshare.net/ashleytan/writing-specific-instructionallearning-objectives-presentation

I recomend the second one because is easier but first one is more detailed in case you need more information.

Well, this method is really good because help us how to planning a class and having in mind the elements that are neccesary to complete with your objetives. I think learning about ABCD Method We can improve our lesson plans and even make them in a easily way.

The core of this Method is based in:


Audience: What level/ ability/ etc.
Behavior: Observable verbs (see)
Conditions: What circumstances.
Degree: How well.


That's why is called ABCD method.


I expect this little essay will be useful for you and makes easier the Teaching Labor.


Have a nice day.

New ideas for education

Hi everybody,

This is the first time I create a Blog, I wanted to do it before with other purposes but i didn't do it, now this blog with educational purpose it's a good option to share opinions and everything related to education. I think with Educational Technology my classmates and I have learned a lot of things to use the computer as a tool to having classes and talk about the elements that integrate this interesting subject.

I think a blog it's a good way to having class, however I think a forum as Nicenet is a faster way to share information because all the messages are posted in the same website.

Regards.
