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
would like to develop in the students? What is the most effective instructional
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
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take place?
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
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take place?
Collaborative Learning Perform inquiry and solve problems
together Propose ideas/theories Support and evaluate claims with
evidence Offer multiple perspectives, rise-above,
etc Build on one another’s ideas
Collaborative Learning
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take place?
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
Geographical Inquiry

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.
