Implementing ADDIE Model
Project Based Learning
Enhancing student engagement and performance through project-based learning and technology integration.
This project demonstrates my application of the ADDIE model to develop an engaging project-based learning (PBL) experience for a third-grade classroom, incorporating technology to enhance student motivation and engagement. Through a thorough needs analysis, I identified a critical need for PBL and technological integration to address issues of low student motivation, which were negatively affecting performance. This project highlights my ability to apply systematic instructional design principles to create impactful learning solutions.

Analysis
The Problem
The Solution
Third graders are showing low levels of participation and motivation in the classroom. The students are disengaged during lessons, rarely contributing to class discussions and interacting minimally with learning materials and their fellow peers.
While students should be actively involved in the learning process, their current lack of motivation and participation suggests a need for instructional strategies that promote engagement and foster a more stimulating classroom environment, such as technology-based and project-based learning. This will help close the gap between their current academic performance and the desired outcomes.
High Level Design Document
Instructional Goal #1:
Leverage the Technology Platform to Facilitate Collaborative Project-Based Learning
This goal involves using technology and PBL strategies to create a collaborative environment where students can synthesize information, analyze complex problems, and produce project-based outcomes. Interactive features like discussion forums and collaborative document editing will be used to enhance engagement and participation.
Instructional Goal #2:
Increase student engagement through personalized learning paths
This goal is to implement personalized learning pathways within a PBL framework, adapting to each student’s interests, learning pace, and cognitive development. The platform will analyze performance data to customize learning experiences, align activities with individual strengths, and enhance engagement and academic performance.
Development
In this lesson, students will review The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau by Dan Yaccarino and demonstrate their understanding of key ideas found in the text by creating a prototype for an invention that addresses ocean conservation issues.
