I chose to make Addie the foundation of my instructional design because the five steps it entails are vital to any model that is used for teaching. One has to analyze what the learners' needs are and the goals and objectives that need to be met. Once this information is obtained, then one can begin to design what the unit is going to look like along with the assessments that will be used to measure knowledge obtained. The development phase includes planning the instruction and then teaching it. TPACK is a part that I think should be implemented all through the instructional design process as well.
Throughout the process, one must continuously evaluate if the teaching strategies, the technologies used, and content are all helping one to meet the desired goals. This flowchart is comprehensive and details all that should be done to ensure one plans the best instruction to meet our learners' needs. Though it seems like there are many steps to follow, doing it repeatedly will help us to effectively implement every step as we plan our units.
