What’s New With the Internet ? Increased access,bandwidth,and multimedia Videoconferences:Virtually being there Internet2 Wireless and human-centric computing Increase in distance learning
Researching With the Internet Searching for information : metacognition(self-regulatory&reflection skills) –Search engines(robots/spiders/crawlers) –Directories(DB with a hierarchical) Evaluating information –Before download,students should ask.
Internet Learning Activities : Inquiry-oriented cooperative learning WebQuests ex: Look Who's Footing the Bill!, a WebQuestLook Who's Footing the Bill!, a WebQuest Student-created WebQuests GAP model (Cavely,2000): Gathering information Arranging information Present with technology tools Thematic web collection ex: E-themesE-themes
Learning processes: Formulating question and ideas,designing WebQuest structure,and seeking and evaluating information.
Problem-solving processes: Students-produced WebQuest,on the other hand,definitely engage problem solving. Teacher roles: A critical link in the value of WebQuest Assessing learning WebQuest outcome
Learning From the Internet : Information to Knowledge Through Inquiry Distributed data collection ex: Open-ended,student-directed research projects –Learning process: scientific process –Problem-solving processes: gathering information → conjecturing → building theory →proving → presentation –Teacher roles: coach –Assessing learning: investigation Ex: WISE wise.berkeley.edu/pages/what_teachers_say.phpwise.berkeley.edu/pages/what_teachers_say.php
Web Publishing Publishing research ex: Publishing original ideas and thoughts –Learning process: collaboration & publishing to worldwide audience –Problem-solving processes: A kind of problem-solving –Teacher roles: Less prescriptive –Assessing learning: Holistic & analytical evaluation
Expanding Horizons:Virtual Travel Virtual field trips ( )
Online Expeditions –Learning process: making decision –Problem-solving processes –Teacher roles: partner / tour guide / travel agent –Assessing learning: process & quality Ex:
