The final phase in the DDD-E model is evaluation. You need to obtain feedback from others during the development process, before you publish your webpage or other multimedia element. Even though this phase is presented last, evaluation effects the entire process.

Scaffolding Thoughts

After reading the article and viewing the video, think about what the term scaffolding means to educators (teachers and students).

How successful can one be with or without scaffolding? How would you use scaffolding in the classroom? Describe experiences where scaffolding has been used.

Write any other thoughts you may have about this topic.

Chapter 4 Thoughts

Design

So now you have an IDEA about what you want to create for the project. You have figured out the roles and responsibilities of each team member. This chapter walks you through the design process of organizing the content, determining the structure, setting up navigation, choosing the look and feel, and designing the pages.

Reflect on any other thoughts about this chapter.

Chapter 3 Thoughts

Decide

The first phase in the DDE-Model is all about decision making. The what of a project. The who does what of a project. The when of a project. The why of the project. The where of the project. Of course, the team cannot overlook the how of the project.

Reflect with any other thoughts about the chapter.
