2 Agenda Closing the digital disconnect with the millennial students. Webcams as a scientific instrument: developing inquiry skills Assessing & evaluating scientific inquiries. Moving from cookbook labs to independent inquiries. Lessons learned from practice Time to play!

3 Millennial Students (born 1980 – 2000) Closing the gap between internet-savvy students and their schools. Millennials are the first generation that have grown up surrounded by digital media.

4 Webcams as a Scientific Instrument: Developing Inquiry Skills Empowering students through technology and a constructivist approach. students use new technological modeling tools & software students carry out activities that are much more like real science encourages learner inquiry, students can learn the nature of science as a model of reality acknowledges the critical role of experience in learning; learning as a process nurtures learners natural curiosity bases itself on the principles of the cognitive theory, “brains-on” approach supports cooperative learning involves learners in real world situations

5 COOKBOOK LABS INDEPENDENT INQUIRIES/ GUIDED DISCOVERY LABS Beginning of unit/ course End of unit/ course
