Instructional design using Web 2.0 tools

I am planning to design a lesson on teacher burnout using Web 2.0 tools for teacher training. The lesson will include diverse activities and instructional resources such as a collaborative activity and in-depth activity through an online platform to transfer knowledge. A major challenge is to design interactive and learner-centered instruction using proper tools. I have used several tools and found features in the eme6414 class, but when I tried to apply them to my instructional design, it was not easy to determine which tools would be best suited for the learning activities I wanted to implement.

Another thing that I need to keep in mind when I choose Web 2.0 tool is to consider learner characteristics, learning contents, and motivation. When I explore tools, I found that those three facts could affect learning performances. For example, I thought that I could use Symbaloo learning path as one of the learning activities. I shortly recognized that the tool could not fit for teachers' learning because of the simple and childish interface, which can interfere with their motivation for learning. Also, I chose TedEd as one of the learning tools in that Youtube videos related to teacher burnout can help learning and TedEd platform support learning activities at the same time.

However, I am still trying to align with learning objectives and activities as well as finding useful tools to support learning. Even though I learned important components of instructional design, I realize that designing great instruction is difficult whenever I try to develop educational programs. In this assignment, I will need to keep focusing on the features of Web 2.0 when designing learning objectives and activities.

I am looking forward to the final output I make!
