8. Outside experts Message no. 161Posted by.. on Friday, June 27, 2003 10:16 am Subject Constructivist Methods in the Classroom 1.When are constructivist methods used effectively in a classroom? Which topics suit constructivist methods? While the curriculum and assessment framework suggests several learning experiences that teachers can incorporate into the day, all of the learning experiences are based on a belief about how we should teach to match what we know about how students learn. The primary aim of the Project Construct approach is to help teachers foster the development of each child as an autonomous learner. Autonomy refers to the ability of individuals to be self-governing---socially, morally, and intellectually---in the context of relationships with others.

9. Synchronous Dialogs Chatrooms: Open forum-more personalized Develops student personal concepts as well as course goal understandings can be used to develop class dynamics and interactions Suggestions: Set an agenda; theme; topic; scenario to place the chat in context and structure online time invite experts-outsiders to add to scenario, simulation development.

10. Online Group Dialogs Online Group projects incorporate group dialogs- communications Design Online workspace- load projects, review and edit projects. Online communication: Students discuss assigned readings Students establish schedules and develop projects

11. Assessment Process: Your evaluation processes of online dialogs should consider the initial course goals for the types of understandings you want the students to develop. Model your assessment process throughout the course Give students criteria as soon as possible in the course. Structured responses- assess on the development of course goals Did they respond to course information and/or add new information from other sources? Make connections among ideas?

12. Productive Online PD Open discussions- assess on the progression of student’s individual reconceptualizations- Have they developed new personal understandings of course information? Correlated information to create new functionalities? Group work- assess on level of contribution to group project Did they review work, discuss work with others and/or add new information to the project? Add strategies to solve problems, create projects? Methods: Scaled rubrics points for completion checklists self-evaluation

17. Development of Learning Technologies Programs EDCI 573 online course Masters of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction Emphasis Area: Learning Technologies Course Description  The purpose of this course is to review a variety of technology programs currently implemented in traditional and non-traditional settings. The course readings will expose students to a wide variety of technology-based learning environments in order to develop the students’ conceptual understanding of the potential benefits and costs of developing technology programs. Intended Learning Outcomes  This course is part of a program to develop educators with the capability to design, develop, and evaluate learning technologies into a variety of learning environments. The students will research topics, dialog in online workgroups, write proposal papers, present their final solution, and evaluate other group’s projects. In this course the learners will:  Design and develop a plan for implementation of a technology-based program.  Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan of actions designed in this course. Learner Activities  1. Students in this course will design a strategy to address a problem using a technology-based solution. They will work online in collaborative groups in order to design a plan of action.  2. The students will work design a program for evaluating the effectiveness of the plan of action and analyze the responses of others.

18. Potential problems for consideration  Design the online curriculum for a graduate course involving professors in differing countries. Survey all professors Identify common trends in curriculum Design online curriculum  Design an online data mining agenda for the SOE NCATE review in 5 years including: Management of server-- on-site or out source Middleware design Design forms for faculty and students  Design professional development program for new STAR lab at the School of Education Survey of local districts for inservice needs Survey preservice students for needs  In service – on site or in SOE Productivity training for pre service  Design presentation for laptop program for SOE.
