Learning about the different types of instructional design was really interesting. I did not know there were so many kinds of instructional design. It makes sense that there are however, because there are so many theories of education, and so many different classroom set-ups.
I like backwards design. Understanding by Design was the format that I learned in college and I had to use this format when I completed lesson plans for my student teaching, so I am very comfortable with it. In reading the introduction and first chapter, I have noticed there are some differences from the edition I studied in college. I have tried to use backward design since my student teaching experience, but I have become a bit lax in it as I have had to fit my plans into different formats over the years. Right now, when I sit down and format my plans formally it is more of a hodge-podge of UbD, 5E, and CTESS. I think the hardest thing will be to follow this format exactly. I personally like my combination method because I have pulled the parts I like best from each system.
