• Embeds in longterm memory

• Targets content for target outcomes

​Benefits

• ​Small chunks of info that lead to desired outcome

• ​Usually 1-15 minutes

• Implement anywhere, anytime

​Characteristics

What is Microlearning

Some text here about the topic of discussion

• Identify desired outcome

• Create a step-by-step lesson plan

• Chunk it up (supports desired outcome)

• Spread it out

• Reinforce and test frequently

​

​Steps to Planning Microlessons

​

• Desired Outcome: Utilize table effectively to prepare for college chem

​

​Desired Outcome

​

1. Periodic Table Song

   1. Intersperse memorization checkpoints

2. Subatomic Particles

3. Families of Elements

   1. ​Lesson for each family

   2. Real-life uses/how they exist in real life

​

Step-by-Step​

• Microlesson 1: PTable Song

  • Question: what are the firsrt 10 elements?

  • Objective: Be able to list them in order

  • Microlearning Experiences

    • Listen to PTable song

    • Practice singing/saying first ten with song then with friend

    • List them in given response area

Chunk it Up​

Questions to consider

• This is a semester long objective. How often will I use these microlessons?

• What media will I use to accomplish this goal? (Edapp, quizizz asynch, etc) ​

Spread it Out

• Create a plan that outlines due dates and times

• Decide how often to revisit major concepts within the desired outcome

• Example:

  • The PTable Microlesson​ with the song will be revisited weekly (with changes to elements to be memorized)

Revist and Retest Often​
