What drew me into Anna’s blog page was the beautiful flower on her home page; however, I was continuously engaged while reading her posts. Anna does an excellent job at defining direct instruction and linking it to her groups Interactive Learning Resource on “How to Use Social Media Effectively in the Classroom.” She states that direct instruction is where a teacher provides structured lessons. My groups ILR called the “Journey to Understanding Finances,” will also display some aspects of direct instruction through the assigned Youtube videos, and readings. Additionally, the students will have assignments that they must submit for assessment. After reading Anna’s post, it is clear that my group’s ILR could fall into many learning approach categories. I certainly need to discuss with my group which one would best fit our aims.
