Fred gave Jane the following directions: head 45ft N, 150ft SW, 75ft W and 85ft E. What could Fred have said instead?
Objectives • To examine a variety of technologies used in the context of sound pedagogical and management practices • To foster problem solving and the ability to develop original materials or adapt existing materials • To examine using technology as a tool to think with.
Class Expectations • Work Hard • Learn • Push Yourself
Course Project • We’ll talk……
Most Important • In order to use technology effectively in education it cannot be used separately from learning theory and good pedagogical processes.
What are we trying 2 teach? • Observation • Inference • Measuring • classifying • Predicting • Functions • Multiple Representations • Problem Solving • Connecting Topics
The Learning CycleAn Inductive Approach • Is a method of teaching that involves exploratory learning • It incorporates learning theory but it is not a learning theory itself • There are four components: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate. • Depending on who you talk to there are other stages.
Direct InstructionA Deductive Approach • Is a method of teaching in which the teacher is the deliverer of the message. • Deductive methods go from general to specific
Direct Instruction Components • Objectives • Anticipatory Set • Review/Connect • Modeling • Check for Understanding • Guided practice/Monitoring • Independent Practice
Inquiry • Answering research questions with data
Multiple Representations • Helps foster greater understanding of concepts • Algebraic • Graphical • Numerical • Qualitatively • Visual
Assessment • Assessment is vital for: • Gauge Growth • Provide Feedback • Improved Practice • We will cover such topics as: • Rubrics • Reliability • Validity
