Instructional Strategies

Visual Literacy - Learn To See And Learn To Do!
CII.239
(10 hour workshop)
What do students need to be learning that many are not? The written or spoken word is the primary form of communication that teachers emphasize in schools. But we also need to help our students understand the importance of graphics, music, and cinema, which are just as powerful and in some ways more deeply intertwined with young people’s culture. We live and work in a visually sophisticated world, so we must be sophisticated in using all the forms of communication, not just the written word. George Lucas (Star Wars creator) in a recent Edutopia magazine article http://www.edutopia.org/magazine/ed1article.php?id=art_1160&issue=sept_04 believes that it’s not about who has access to what technology but who knows how to create and express themselves in this new language. If students aren’t taught the language of sound and images, should they be considered literate? This workshop will introduce teachers to the “grammar” and “rules” of visual literacy. Learn how to create more effective presentations and classroom materials using basic design techniques. Every image represents a particular point of view. A great way to help students evaluate the images that pervade their world is by having them create and manipulate their own images. If you would like to improve your (and your students) ability to communicate visually then this workshop is for you!

Teaching With WebQuests For Grades K-12
CII.229
Although it is a vast reference source and an effective teaching tool, many educators avoid using the Web in their classrooms because students have not acquired the skills needed to effectively use the Internet.

In this course, learners will design a WebQuest to enhance a classroom unit or a particular curriculum area and engage their students in meaningful research.

Teaching With WebQuests For Grades K-12
(TECH145) 
TECH145.117 (Session 1) 
TECH145.122 (Session 2)
Although it is a vast reference source and an effective teaching tool, many educators avoid using the Web in their classrooms because students have not acquired the skills needed to effectively use the Internet. WebQuests—inquiry-oriented activities in which some or all of the information that students interact with is found within Internet resources—are one way that the Web can be meaningfully incorporated into the curriculum. In this course, learners will design a WebQuest to enhance a classroom unit or a particular curriculum area and engage their students in meaningful research.

Using Multimedia to Develop Understanding
(TECH305) formerly TECH130 
TECH305.19 (Session 1) 
TECH305.22 (Session 2)
Students can use multimedia tools to convey their ideas and demonstrate their understanding of a subject. We must take care, however, not to confuse the medium with the message. A student may package information in a well-designed form, but the actual content of the message could very well be inadequate. The challenge for educators, then, is to use (and encourage students to use) multimedia in such a way as to further a student’s understanding of the message content. In this course, learners will explore Bloom’s taxonomy—a system that categorizes the different levels of student learning, from basic and cursory knowledge of a subject to analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating the subject—and consider ways to use a multimedia project to promote higher-level thinking skills. As a final task, learners will develop such a project for their students.
