Chap 1
Chapter one concerned its self with what the students wanted to learn. Ways they wanted to learn what make things better for them in the classroom environment. This is very important to consider because if the student does not feel they can learn then they will not learn. Especially when it comes to technology students need to feel comfortable with whole process or else they will not be conducive to learning and nothing will get through to them. Technology is the future and we need our students to embrace that future with us and that way they are more inclined to learn and place their input to help the learning process. Like the book states we want our students to be empowered learners.
Chap 2
Chapter two was about how to implement the plans of technology on how to make the student an empowered learner. The model the book stresses is the DDD-E model. They feel it can be a useful tool, it allows students to be creative but also keeping a structure so the student can learn all that they need to learn. The model means Design, Decide, Develop, and Evaluate. It allows for a lot of room for movement but also has that structure that keeps the student on point. I think it is a very useful model and should be implemented into curriculum especially when it involves technology.

I think the DDDE format does provide a logical design plan - it is often hard to tell where to start. DDD-E puts forward a process to follow, much like the Understanding by Design comes up with a lesson plan model. Is there a way to fit a DDDE project into a UBD design plan?
