Resources and Field Trips
GRAPHIC ORGANIZER:
Reflection:
Field trips are important in order to expose children to different cultural aspects of the world around them. Taking school-aged children on field trips
provides them with a better understanding of different ideas, people and
places.While there is much that can be learned in the
classroom, some things are better taught when kids can have a hands-on
experience. For instance, teaching kids about history educates them on the
basics, but taking them on a field trip to a history museum gives them an up
close look at the clothing, weapons and other items used during that time.
THE POWER OF FILM, VIDEO,
AND TV IN A CLASSROOM
GRAPHIC ORGANIZER:
REFLECTION:
We can now bring history into the
classroom through pictures, music, and other visuals to a degree never before
possible. We can
apply the physics from the classroom to simulations available to us through the
Internet, and we can develop projects across grade levels and campuses. Students
are no longer limited by the walls of a classroom or the knowledge of a
single textbook. The world is available to most classrooms, even when students
do not have their own computers.We can bring the media into the classroom
through visuals, sounds, smells, and tastes. Because our brains rely heavily on
stimulus from the outside for learning, this is just one of the reasons that
teaching with media is brain friendly.
TEACHING WITH VISUAL SYMBOLS
GRAPHIC ORGANIZER:
REFLECTION:
These
visual symbols worth a thousand words because they are easier to understand
than words of a paragraph. And I have learned that visual symbols are
unrealistic reproduction of physical things.
Through using visual symbols, it
will be easier for the teacher to let the students identify what it is. And in
the part of the students, it helps to develop their critical thinking and also
it helps them to understand the meaning of the text easily.
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
AND MULTIMEDIA: what is it?
GRAPHIC ORGANIZER:
REFLECTION:
Project-based multimedia learning provides a format for implementing several very powerful
instructional principles, including differentiating instruction, scaffolding
instruction, and facilitating socially constructed knowledge. This approach
fosters the development in students of a sophisticated understanding of
content-area subjects, as well as sophisticated development of effective and
efficient strategies for informational-gathering and processing, communicating,
critical, analytical, and creative thinking, collaborating, and goal setting
and self-evaluating.
USING THE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
MULTIMEDIA AS A
TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGY
GRAPHIC ORGANIZER:
REFLECTION:
We live in a world where knowledge has become ubiquitous.
It’s everywhere. The ever-growing list of technologies that populate our world
has made it easier than ever for people to consume information that’s important
to them. This shift in knowledge access is changing the way
society operates and, as a result, is forcing us to change the way we deliver
education.
It’s no longer enough just to “know stuff” or to master the
fundamental skills of reading and writing. Of course, that’s still vitally
important. But of equal importance is owning a set of complex skills that go
beyond straight facts – skills that are necessary to succeed in today’s world –
teamwork, critical thinking, communication, decision-making, etc. That’s the
primary benefit of project-based learning. It combines traditional classroom
knowledge with real-world expertise and skills to better prepare students for
success.
