Utilize comparison tools like Venn diagrams and fishbone diagrams, along with flowcharts for algorithmic thinking. Discover interactive methods for students, including group activities like jigsaw puzzles and paired problem-solving. This approach fosters active learning and effective assessment, catering to diverse student needs and improving engagement in the classroom. ###
E N D
Concept maps • Spider, family tree, cluster, cloud
Vocabulary cards/charts • Vocabulary chart– you can add origin also • Can be used for vocabulary in any domain • For example: chemistry, maths, computers
KWHL • KWHL – learning through enquiry • What I Know, Want to learn, How to learn, Learnt • Good as a guide to a topic before, after class
Then there are • Flowcharts – all algorithmic thinking • Cycles – in operating systems, DBMS • Continuum - • Pie charts
Use by teacher and students • By teacher: • GOs already prepared and displayed as charts • Making while explaining • By students • As a small project/assignment for a group • End of class to assess understanding – can divide parts to groups • Give fully or partially blank GO for students to fill • Write text but don’t show the relationships • Ask them to find mistakes in a GO • Different levels of activity for differently abled students • Use it to revise
A teaser • Two very popular and common objects have the same function, but one has thousands of moving parts, while the other has absolutely no moving parts. What are they?
Active learning – without moving • Paired problem solving – one speaks, other solves • Start and finish • Twenty questions • Back-to-back descriptions
Active learning – group and movement • Jigsaw – fit it together • MasterMind – in a group one student becomes expert • One-by-one • I-P-O – for programming • Flash cards – memory games, sequencing etc
Seeking feedback when students don’t want to talk/ask • One minute paper • Muddiest point • Questions by group on a bench – slowly progressing to individual • Inter group quiz
