Understanding by Design

TASK Breakdown: =Technology Example Employed to Complete the Task= media type="custom" key="6484163"
 * 1) G What is the goal of the task? What is it designed to assess? As a game designer with an educational company, your task is to design a review game utilizing multimedia technology such as Voicethread, powerpoint, or GoAnimate that will most effectively review limits and continuity.
 * 2) R What real-world role will the student assume as he/she is performing the task? A game designer with an educational company.
 * 3) A Who is the audience for the task? Your target audience is the testing department for this educational company.
 * 4) S What is the situation that provides the context for the task? You have a two-part challenge: (1) to develop an educational review game that integrates review of limits and continuity, and (2) to clearly communicate the process for solving each facet of their review game utilizing multimedia technology such as Voicethread, powerpoint, or GoAnimate.
 * 5) P What is the product or performance that is required by the task? You need to develop a written process outlining the steps in sequence for each review problem similar to an answer key. Additionally, you need to include a graphic format to accompany the written description.
 * 6) S By what standards will the product or performance be judged? The review game needs to follow the criteria for good design accurately and creatively; identify the key concepts of limits and continuity; include a clear and written description of the process; and provide a review game deliverable in a multimedia format such as Voicethread, powerpoint, or GoAnimate.
