Chapter 5 & 6

Chapters 5 and 6.
Chapter five was a very informative read about planning goals and learning outcomes. It was interesting to find out the difference between aims and objectives. My first thought before reading on was that they were of same meaning. After further reading, it is interesting to learn that one is broad and the other is more specific.

Nervous and excited at the same time now that I have an idea of what it takes to develop and plan for curriculum.
