15. DO move your students TOWARD more: REFLECTION-based, project-based, collaborative use of technology. Place several students at one computer to negotiate, collaborate, communicate, and deliberate creatively through the following research-based process Research, Collect, & Verify Information Organize, Eliminate, & Prioritize Information Categorize and Summarize major issues Delineate & Develop a Reporting Agenda Collaborate & Negotiate through a Presentation Process Design & Deliver Meaningful Information Explain & Defend.
