ABCD Objectives Model

Students often have difficulties writing learning objectives. The ABCD model is an easy approach to guide the writing process.
ABCD model includes 4 distinct components:
A- audience (the learners of the instruction)
B- Behavior (the observable performance)
C- Condition (under what circumstance the learners will be assessed)
D- Degree (measurement of success)
Example: Given pictures of flowers (C: condition), 3rd graders (A: audience) will be able to identify which flower belongs to which season (B: behavior) with 90% accuracy (D: degree).
Now can you write up some objectives using the ABCD model?

MacBook Pro
In this video we go over some of the great features that come with our new MacBook Pro laptops.
It was a fun project! My student and I spent 2 hours using a MacBook Pro from downstairs. It took a while to refresh my memory about using iMovie.. couldn't believe it's been 4 years! Well, Mac is mac, no one can beat it for the quality of a multimedia project!
