In the article "Modifying ADDIE: Incorporating New Technologies in Library Instruction," Campbell (2014) describes using the instructional design model ADDIE to teach new technologies in the library. ADDIE is an acronym that stands for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Campbell suggests using the ADDIE model not only for introducing students and staff to technologies new to the library, but also for finding new technologies that may not have been thought of before (2014, p. 12). The ADDIE model requires a lot of planning and practicing before actually implementing lesson. In the Evaluation stage following the lesson (which would be in the Implementation stage), the librarian should assess not only what the students learned, but how the entire design process went (2014, p. 10).
Overall, I felt that this article was informative. Campbell offered several brief outlines of the model, and then went into detail describing the five stages. I found it interesting how the actual lesson part is a very small piece of the instructional design model. Four out of five of those stages is planning. In the Analysis stage, the instructional librarian plans by analyzing student learning gaps related to the new technology. In the Design stage, the librarian plans how to best teach the learners. In the Development stage, the librarian practices with the new technology so as to plan for how to troubleshoot any problems that may arise. And finally, in the Evaluation stage, the librarian plans for how to best modify the lesson for the future, if needed. I think the ADDIE model can be used not only for smaller lessons, but also for overall long-range planning, as Campbell suggests (2014, p. 12). It is true that in order to best meet the needs of the students and staff at my school that will be using the library, I need to be very prepared in how to best meet their needs, and the ADDIE model outlines easy to follow steps.

Laurie I really enjoyed your Blog because I prefer the ADDIE MODEL to use in my lesson plan. This particular model has five steps which are easy for the classroom. I can start off with my learning Objectives and Goals. It is great for small groups and large groups. I would choose this Model to began my first lesson in my curriculum. Thanks For Sharing
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your review also. I find it interesting that their is so much planning. I think planning is the key to a great lesson. If we spent more time planning our lessons, I think we could reach more students. I see a lot of veteran teaches who think they know what to do and they do not spend enough time preparing. Even if you have taught for years, the students you are teaching now are so different than the students you taught last year.
