Use of Prezi, Blog and Linoit for Collaborative Learning in Geographical Inquiry

Planning for a lesson using the 4 square Reflection Which ICT Tools should I use? What are the thinking skills which I

approach? Is the learning experience authentic?

4 Square Reflection

What are the areas where SDL/CoL take place?

Self-directed learning Self-directed learning (SDL) is any

increase in knowledge, skill, accomplishment, or personal development that an individual selects and brings about his or her own efforts using any method in any circumstances at any time.

- Gibbons, 2002

Self-directed learning

Self-directed learning Identify learning tasks to achieve

learning goal set To reflect on their own learning and use

feedback to improve their schoolwork To learn beyond the curriculum To apply learning in new context

Self-directed learning

What are the areas where SDL/CoL take place?

Collaborative Learning The social process whereby students

learn through interacting with others Entails social construction of knowledge,

e.g. forming an argument through talk (Nussbaum, 2008)

Collaborative Learning More than assembling of tasks

according to the roles the individual learners play

Involves ongoing efforts in negotiating meaning and establishing shared understanding among them.

Collaborative Learning

What is the pedagogy/instructional model adopted?

Geographical Inquiry Spark curiosity Gathering data Exercising reasoning -To make

connections e.g. relate existing knowledge to new knowledge

Reflective thinking –Peer feedback on presentation

Range of Use

Objectives of my ICT lesson on Tourism

Students will be able to plan a 2-day itinerary highlighting

tourist attractions in Singapore. make use of Prezi to create an online

presentation collaboratively. give feedback to their peer’s work using

Linoit for collaborative learning.

Objectives

How would this be carried out if ICT is not used?ICT value added!

What learning activities will the students go through?

Use Prezi to create an online presentation collaboratively.

Search and sort relevant information, images and videos on the internet for their presentation.

Give feedback on peers’ work constructively using Linoit on the blog.

Learning activities

Value-add of ICT Tools

Prezi is an online presentation tool which allows students to work on a common presentation project simultaneously even when they are not in physical proximity.

ICT Tools

Value-add of ICT Tools Students perform independent research on different

areas and use Prezi to share their expert knowledge while picking up information from their peers’ research findings.

In doing so, students are able to provide immediate feedback to their peers or carry out real-time discussions using Linoit.

ICT Tools

Value-add of ICT Tools

Teachers of other disciplines can also use this tool to similarly encourage collaborative and self-directed learning amongst their students.

Monitoring of student progress is also made simple by embedding the Prezi presentations on a blog space!

ICT Tools

Preparation for ICT Lesson

Blog created for the Prezi presentation and Linoit to be embedded so that students can give feedback to their peers’ works using the virtual gallery work.

Grouping of students Registration of accounts for Prezi Leader to create account and send the

link to teacher

Scaffolding Students are taught how to use online

presentation tool Prezi Examples of youtube videos which

students can include in their presentation.

How do we monitor the effectiveness of learning?

Virtual “Gallery Walk” on blog. The Prezi is embedded together with

Linoit on the blog and the students can post their comments on the 2-day itinerary using Linoit.

Teacher has overview of all presentations on the blog and can intervene if groups are not on task.

Effective Learning

Impact – Did your students learn better?

As the students did the gallery work – the students share their knowledge of the various tourist attractions in Singapore.

Learning is extended beyond the classroom as they explore other attractions which they are not familiar with prior to the lessons

The lesson can be extended to presentation of other issues e.g inquiry into why people still stay in areas threatened by volcanic eruptions such as Mt Merapi.
