Given the speed with which this course is being presented (e.g., start to finish in 6 weeks), you had to quickly get on board and figure out what you wanted to present as a module for the major assignment. I had the idea in place but was having trouble narrowing down the path that I wanted to take. The practice of creating a blueprint and storyboard is the type of organizational strategy I always model and suggest to my students. While I usually have the end in mind, the path with which we take often changes and moves based on different needs that existed in the special education classroom that I was in. With a change in placement to a mainstream class and the responsibility for more curriculum coverage, I will need the blueprint in order to keep myself accountable. This will also help with delivering similar content to multiple classes of students and helping me keep track of where each class is and what the needs are in each of the classes.
The processes of creating a storyboard first and then a more specific blueprint forces you to think through the material and the expected delivery of the lessons. During this the expectations, required multimedia and text is thought through with the end in mind. So the planning begins with the following mind map created in the Mindomo program.
