INTRODUCTION

TOOLS FOR CONTENT EXPLORATION TASKS

IN-CLASS WORKOUT #6: Creating a WebQuest

CASE ANALYSIS WORKSHOP

THE GOALS FOR TODAY ARE: By the end of this discussion you will:

Learn about the different types of tasks Learn about the types of tools for content exploration

tasks Learn how to identify appropriate tools for a specific

learning goal

WHAT IS A TOOL? A tool is:

an instrument used for doing work Instructional tools help your students do meaningful work

A tool should not be: The focal point of an activity

E.g. Use of scientific calculator What drives you to choose what to do

Should be based on the standards and students’ needs

A tool meets the needs of a context to complete specific tasks

WHAT IS A TOOL? Priority should be given to CONTENT!

1. What is content? 2. What task needs to be accomplished to teach the content? 3. What technology tool is appropriate? 4. And then, make a good use of the tool to best fit the task.
