  2. Chapter 6 Summarizing and Note Taking “The instructional strategy summarizing and note taking focuses on enhancing students’ ability to synthesize information and distill it into a concise new form. (p119)

  3. Generalizations • Summarizing • Students need to delete information, substitute information and keep some information and then analyze it at a deeper level • Note Taking • Verbatim note taking is the least effect way to take notes • Notes should be considered a work-in-progress, and should be used as a study guide for tests • The more notes that are taken, the better

  4. Word Processing Applications • Summarizing • Track Changes Feature – Word • Auto Summarize – Word • Note Taking • Combination notes • Use bullet organization when taking notes Words images summary

  5. Organizing and Brainstorming • Summarizing • Summary frames • Inspiration • Note Taking • Inspiration can be transfered into word to give students both an image based notes system and an outline (text) based notes

  6. Multimedia • “When students experience multimedia, they sometimes get caught up in the entertainment factor and neglect the critical analysis of the content necessary to create useful notes they can use for further study.” • When they create multimedia presentations, they are more likely to focus on the presentation (look) than content.

  7. Multimedia Continued • Powerpoint is a great option for summarizing and notetaking • Content on the slides needs to be short, and slides can be printed with a note taking option

  10. Chapter 7 Cooperative Learning “Technology can play a unique and vital role in cooperative learning by facilitating group collaboration, providing structure for group tasks, and allowing members of groups to communicate even if they are not working face to face.” (p 140)

  11. Generalizations • Organizing groups based on ability levels should be done sparingly • Groups should be small in size (3-4) • Cooperative learning groups should be used consistently, but not overused. Three Types of Groups Informal, Formal, Base

  12. Multimedia • Allows students to work together, as long as clear expectations are given (rubrics) • Creating a video • Creating PowerPoint presentation
