Chapter 1 Rocks & The Rock Cycle

The purpose of my lesson is to teach students about the role of geologist, the different types of rock and how they are classified.

My lesson is targeted to middle school students and anyone else who would like to learn or refreshen their minds about rocks and the rock cycle. Learning about the major rock types are part of the national standards for middle schoolers so the material found in my course is meant to satisfy those objectives.

Choosing an interactive learning and assessment template was the most effective way of making a lesson on rocks a little more interesting and engaging. Once I get more aquatinted with developing interactive courses, I will be able to integrate audio and visual media with the lesson material for a more captivating lesson.

The interactive assessments provide course directors with many options for assessments. Assessments can be quickly created using the various templates like multiple choice, matching, ordering and many more. The system provides a greater variety of question styles and more flexibility in operation than most commercially available assessment programs.

The ability to access and promote a course on Facebook is a powerful learning tool. It Using Facebook networking allows the teacher to advertise and share lessons with just about everyone.

UdutuTeach transforms Facebook from just being a social-networking tool into a learning management system. Teachers can use UdutuTeach to publish and control who accesses the courses, track progress of the learner, and view ending results of the lesson for free.

The UdutuTeach learner Activity Report provides a unique way to generate the learners progress in each course to be interpreted. Teachers can decide how the learners progress will be measured.

The use of Udutu will affect the teaching profession in a variety of ways. Teachers will have the ability to create courses in real-time using numerous templates, publish, and share courses as they see fit. No longer do teachers have to use materials and resources they feel do not meet the needs of their students. Instead they can design exactly how they want their courses to be organized and then place in the information as they see fit.
