Strengths+and+Weaknesses

__Strengths:__
==The ADDIE model's strengths are that it is very linear. It is a step by step instruction on how to teach an individual lesson. Your objectives and goals are neatly organized and clearly defined. This model would be helpful if you are out for a day and you need to leave easy to follow instructions for a substitute. You can easily show your principal or parent the objectives that you set for your students and how you will measure their progress.==

==__Weaknesses:__ The ADDIE model's weaknesses are that learning is not linear and therefore this model is not designed to complement deep learning. It also does not allow for flexibility within the lesson/unit. There is no continuous assessment. Assessment is only done at the conclusion of the lesson. This does not allow for the teacher to reflect on the skills that need to be taught, that have been taught, and the possibility of needing to re-teach. It does not allow for much exploration for the student. Students cannot discover idea/concepts on their own.==
