Instructional Architect Webpage

Create your own resource webpage to share with your class and other educators! I learned about this option the other day and see many benefits for my classroom. I can put links to games that reinforce my class curriculum, lesson plan ideas for other teachers, and display what skills the my class is learning for their parents.

Make your own:
1)Go to www.ia.usu.edu and click on "I am a teacher"


2)Register yourself then sign in to the site

3)Click on the "My Resources" link

Choose "Search NSDL" to browse hundreds of lesson ideas and activities that other educators have created. When you find some you like move them to the resource folder.

4)Next choose the "My Projects" link at the top of the page. Here you can choose your color theme and graphics on your webpage.


5) Also on the "My Projects" page you can choose the link "edit content". This will take you to a page that allows you to add the resources you previously chose and add any text on your page.


6) You will see "author project" at the top of the page with the numbers one through five next to it. Click through these numbers to complete your webpage. Page five will give you a URL to your new page that you can share with teachers, students, and parents.


7) Enjoy your finished page! Here is the link to the page I created:

  1. I really liked how you used screen shots to demonstrate how to use The Instructional Architect. That post that you have will be one that I would like to come back to when I forget how to do something. I wish I would have thought of that when I did mine. I find that I really enjoyed using this program. At first I thought it was very complicated and too confusing. Even now I am a little rusty getting back in to see my projects, but I really liked the availability of resources to the classroom teacher.
