ADDIE describes what I next thought of Instructional Design. ADDIE stands for Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation. With this in mind, I pretty much viewed Instructional Design as step-by-step process that leads to a final product. I also thought that, with the exception of Evaluation, I had to go from one step to another, and couldn't go on to the next step until I had completed the current one.
As mentioned before, I did see Evaluation as one area that I could use during each step of the process. For example, in the analysis phase, you could evaluate your work by having someone else look it your analyses and see if you could have missed something. However, after implementation I know that a major evaluation needs to take place to really decide of your instruction was effective, efficient, and appealing. After this, but to a smaller extent, throughout the project, you can make improvements to your instruction.
In closing, I should note that this was my view of ADDIE, not necessarily what the ADDIE system is.

Couple of questions on this post:
1. What exactly do you mean by your first sentence "ADDIE describes what I next thought of Instructional Design."? Does it mean that the ADDIE system spelled out your abstract concepts of Instructional Design that you had at the beginning of class? or something different??
2. I think there some analysis missing that could help compare/contrast your view of ADDIE w/ what ADDIE really is. There are a couple of leaps between the system and how you view it that i don't think are getting communicated. I know blogs are supposed to be thoughts and observations; maybe a little more detail is needed.
