I know I was guilty of it when I first started teaching students and again when working with adults I found myself thinking that the product was the transfer. It was recently when evaluating various teaching strategies that I realized how "off" I was. I know that now in the online PD courses and learning opportunities we are offering, the transfer will come in the extension of the learning to teaching it to other teachers. “The Transfer” is all so often poorly designed.

It's something you'll wrestle with for some time, but it's a great framework for designing learning experiences. It's also a powerful way to create professional development experiences for teachers. I'd love to talk about it once you start reading it. TurningPoint Anywhere is a student response system. Mark uses the software along with their basic clicker units for student responses. Here's a link to the product we were using today. http://www.turningtechnologies.com/studentresponsesystem/studentresponsesolutions/turningpointanywhere/ Wes- You absolutely must get UbD out and start reading it.

I have had the UBD book for at least six months now and need to get it off the shelf... Can you explain what was meant by "Used Turning Point Anywhere..." more? I am not familiar with that.
