  1. Let’s Get Wired! Using Technology to Enhance Learning

  2. Our Students…

  3. Quick Quiz T or F. Technology is a cure-all. T or F. Technology is a baby sitter. T or F. All students know how to use technology appropriately. T or F. Technology is a great way to enhance learning!

  4. Today’s Lesson • Internet Lesson (Web Lesson) • Scavenger Hunt (Treasure Hunt) • Subject Sampler • WebQuest • PBL

  5. Internet Lesson • Worksheet that guides students through sites on the web, usually has a theme • Lowest levels of Bloom’s • Let’s get Brainy…

  6. Scavenger Hunt • Learning tool to help students use internet resources & information • Usually uses multiple sites • Teachers pre-select websites • Can be used for simple fact finding or more…the questions determine rigor • Many have a “final question” for summary • Students can easily create & share

  7. Creating a Scavenger Hunt 1.) Decide on a topic 2.) Find a collection of websites 3.) Determine questions from websites -put link in question -put link before a set of questions 4.) Put in .pdf, .doc, or html (etc.)

  8. Scavenger Hunt Examples • Language Arts: http://www.montana.edu/4teachers/instcomp/hunts/language/yellowtrip/webpage2.html • Art: http://www.sonic.net/bantam1/renart.html • Math: http://homepages.ius.edu/JKAISE01/lessons/saveng.htm • Government: http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Mountain/9112/NNHunt.html • Science: http://www.netc.org/classrooms@work/classrooms/middleteam/learning/scienceinternet.html • Auto Tech: http://www.trumbull.k12.oh.us/teachers/resources/InternetHunt/autohunt.htm

  9. Your Turn ! • Take the next 5 minutes and… • Find a scavenger hunt on a current topic you are teaching • OR • Think of a topic that you would like to create one on & find 2 websites that you could use

  10. Feelings…Nothing more than Feelings: The Subject Sampler • Students explore collection of links, includes questions based on content from the sites AND how they feel or react to it • Students share their perspectives on topics, comparisons to their experiences, and their interpretations • More complex…higher level thinking than a scavenger hunt

  11. Creating a Subject Sampler • Similar to scavenger hunt except • Students are not looking for “hard facts” so the questioning will be different

  12. Subject Sampler Examples • The Depression: http://www.nisd.net/holmes/technology/integration/subj_samp/calber/depression.htm • Colonial America: http://www.ccsdedtech.com/cc/projects/subjectsampler/colonial/index.html • DNA Technology: http://www.sunnysidescience.com/dna_technology_subject_sampler.htm • Money Matters: http://www.kn.att.com/wired/democracy/sampler.html#act

  13. WebQuests • Thinking outside the box, Bloom’s highest level of learning • Student Groups receive a task, scenario, or problem to solve • They have to come up with a solution based upon their research. • They become the expert, not you!

  14. How to create a webquest • Background information • Pick a task, problem, or scenario • Research Resources • Choose a product for students to share their information • Lessons, Brochures, Working Models, Debates, Newspaper Articles…

  15. Essential Parts to Webquest • Introduction: for motivation/intrigue • Task: overview of what students will be doing • Process: exact steps, group roles, etc (descriptive & sequential) • Links: give students a place to start • Evaluation: rubric, etc • Conclusion: main goal of project to keep students on track, provides closure

  16. Webquest Examples • Language Arts: http://www.slc.k12.ut.us/webweavers/jillc/mbird.html • Math: http://www.otsego.k12.oh.us/bernthisel/carshoppingwebquest.htm • Social Studies: http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/democracy/debtquest.html • Science:http://www.gilmerschools.com/education/sctemp/bcdca5e0e76d9051d03f3b77bcbea844/1189806270/atomic_and_nuclear_physics_webquest.doc • P.E./Health: http://imet.csus.edu/imet2/nicher/toohotwebquest/index.html • Weight Training: http://academics.uww.edu/cni/webquest/PE/physed/WEBQUEST.HTM • Family & Consumer Sciences: http://www.d91.k12.id.us/ifhs/subpages/Media_Center/trading%20spaces.htm
