do two reflective posts on Edmodo. One reflective post after you complete the class on what you have learned
from the course and how you will continue to utilize the skills gained from the course in the future.

Learning Plan (Stage 3)

How will you

organize and
sequence the
learning
activities to
optimize the
engagement
and
achievement
of ALL
participants?

My target audience is 65 school media specialists and other individuals who have the role of
Edmodo Admin at their schools. Their technology skills range from competent to superior. The
learning plan I have designed is to treat all students as if they are using the technology for the
first time. I have included several checkpoints during the online session for questions - this
should optimize engagement. The learning activities require experiential learning and not just
reading and memorizing facts.
