Reflection-Learning Launch

Challenge

I am a member of a Sunday school department, my project was to develop a learning goal  strategy to help the children (ages 5-12) and teens (ages 13-17) learn certain rules from the  bible e.g., the ten commandments, the books of the bible etc. Moving from writing on a chalk    board where the children would not remember and they were uninterested and unhappy. I  decided to explore ideas that would work so all age groups involved would learn and be more  involved and find learning interesting.

My focus was to used power point presentation using slides with graphic and pictures  showing what the scriptures were actually saying, I assume the pictures would be interesting  for ages 5-12 and the words and handouts would be interesting for the teens. Another idea is  to do a final test giving gifts/rewards for the first and second highest scores. However, as Mr.  Ed Hesse said” learning lunch Is lunching out into the unknown and there is a process how to  do it”.

Selection

I have selected the learning launch. what would work for these children and teens that would  cause them to learn. the idea was to get the children involve so I decide to do the power point  presentation with graphic and pictures relating to the theme. why because both children and  teens remember images of what the saw.

Application

For the first learning launch I started with the power point presentation using individual slides  with the theme and explanation to each theme so the children and teens would be able to  understand what each verse is saying.

My second learning launch I included graphics and pictures to the presentation and wow, the  children were excited to learn. when the presentation was done with graphics and pictures the  children and teens remembered what they saw and this help them in remembering what was  taught. At the end of each session, I give out hand out and promise a test with rewards for the  first and second highest scores.

In reviewing the test results I was able to get feedbacks on how well the children and teens  were remembering what they were taught, how keen they were listen and pay attention.

Insight

By applying the learning launch tool that was effectively launch, as was mention in application  I was able to get feedbacks on where the children and teens were slow in learning how the  think, and how they were able to apply what they were taught. I was also able to analyze what  would work for the children ages 5-12 as well as the teens ages 13-17 in the next session.
