Designing an entire course is a daunting task and quite often it is more efficient for colleagues to work together to break up the workload. While I typically spend a great deal of time collaborating with colleagues when designing a course, for this project I have chosen to work alone because I would like to customize this blended learning course to my specific classroom needs. As the saying goes many hands make for light work, however with the decreased amount of work on my behalf would also come at a loss in terms of customization for my classroom. While there are others within this class that may teach at the same grade level or even within my district, in order to justify the amount of time and energy that will be invested to do a good job of this assignment and content module that follows, this course is going to have to be something that I will actually use in my classroom. It is for this very reason that I have also selected to host this course through my district intranet. Since I am only required to completely produce the content for 1 unit, rather than the content for the entire course, I do feel that this is possible, even though it will require a great time investment. Setting up the WordPress site, complete with my plugins was not overly time consuming, giving me confidence that this task is possible for me to complete on my own. Currently landing pages for strands and units have been set up, but as of yet are empty. The content for a unit based in digital citizenship will be included for the next assignment.
