Chapter 7- Designs For Using Information (2nd part) By : Jaime Villarreal
Design Classifying, Grouping, Sequencing, Connecting or Relating Information
Encode • Turning thoughts and experiences into symbolic form (graphic, numeric, text sound or combination) • Choosing an expressive format
Assemble • Assembling parts into a cohesive communication • Missing parts are identified and encoded • Redundant parts are deleted
Publishing and Revising • Creators can see and assess their product • Reflect on the cohesiveness, expressiveness an appropriateness of their ideas.
Bringing It All Together • WebQuest: • A powerful way to design learning opportunities that bring the whole process (SSCC) together. • Engages students in the whole process. • Developed by Bernie Dodge (http://edweb.sdsu.edu/people/bdodge/Professional.html) • An inquiry-oriented activity • Some or all of the information comes from internet. • There are two kinds • Short Term • Long Term
WebQuests ELEMENTS THINKING SKILLS
Information and the Virtual Classroom (Additional Activity Structures)
Information Exchanges (example) • In its 16th Year Onlinefrom The Landmark Project • GGL HomeParticipatingThe Grocery ListU.S. ListWorld ListSubmit PricesView Prices Students share local grocery prices to build a growing table of data to be used in social studies, science, health, mathematics, and other disciplines. About Global Grocery List • Global Grocery List is a long standing project that generates real, peer collected data for student computation, analysis, and conclusion-building within the context of social studies, science, mathematics and other disciplines.
Database Creation (Example) http://www.kidlink.org/kidspace/start.php?HoldNode=3459
Telefieldtrips (example) • Virtual China • An exploration of virtual experiences and environments in and about China. • Mayaquest
Pooled Data Analysis • Students in various remote locations gather and share similar data from different locations and then analyze the patterns that emerge for the combined samples. • EnvironNet- sponsored projects
Conclusion • What is most needed now is not more information but the power to manage the information we already have. • Educators are faced with the challenge of designing learning opportunities for students that assist them to make sense of the complex information environments they encounter.
