Workshop Goal:
| To create
activities that
Encourage Higher Level Thinking
Use the Internet
Support the Curriculum
|
The process:
- Define Topic and Learning Goals
- Focus on essential questions
- Select Resources (search web)
- Select activity type
- Putting it together
By itself, the Internet does NOT constitute an
educational resource. It is what we, as teachers, do with it that will help us use the
more effective teaching and learning methods that have been developed over the years.
Methods such as:
collaborative learning
constructivism
project-based
learning
These all assume certain beliefs about learning:
that learning occurs best when learners are actively engaged, that learning is largely a social activity, that the more a learner manipulates,
changes and reflects on the topic, the more learning occurs.
