Today, I took out an "old" document from 2009 that I created as my own model for the research process. It combined the research models of the Big 6, with Guided Inquiry, and Jamie McKenzie's Questioning process called The Research Cycle (during research one questions leads to new questions like a cycle, not a step-by-step process). Looking at this old document helped me think about which of the Big 4 learning theories I use in instruction. I noticed behaviorism, cognitivism and constructionism theories in my original model, however I didn't notice any connectivism. I would like to update this model considering the 4 theories and incorporating more of the connectivism theory. There are also many more organizing tools such as evernote available. At first I thought I should make the mini course for students, however I wonder if it makes more sense for teachers to be my audience? I also need to consider I am in an Elementary school and remember my grade level appropriateness.
