5: Principle Using
1.
Identify all the changes involved in the
principle, and write a generality that incudes the changes and the relationship
among the changes. References are needed.
Looking at the my Game
Scratch, there must be an understanding of what formula is need to fine the
area of a rectangle. The process
principles that are used is to apply the knowledge of how to find the area of
the rectangle. Then the casual principle
is applied, through memorization. Then
the game institutes cause and effect, where if you use the correct formula to
get the correct answer the you are able to go to the next problem. “if not, the game ends. Because you answer correctly the race
continues until you reach the finish line.

Share the proposed media selection for
modifying the instruction as appropriate to each change for your Case Study.
Clearly define the forms of behaviors applied to the changes.
For example, a video
game is proposed to replace the PowerPoint presentation to let the students
practice on Math multiplication. State the forms of behaviors applied to this
change.
A proposed media selection that can be used
for modifying the instruction instead of the Scratch Game is a YouTube video on
area of a rectangle. http://youtu.be/2vBpkgJBiZY. http://youtu.be/nnKlXLn9pkU.
These media will show steps for the
student to use the behavior solution. Math software like AdaptedMinds is also a
media selection that can help students to learn and practice the skill. This
would take in the behavior of explanation and solution.
I checked the links and I think it teaches the concept of finding an area of a rectangle very simple. The videos are very good, it enhances learning and teaching, and is engaging too. It is a good reinforcer, they make applying “process principles” easier, because students tend to understand the concept better with the visual representations.
ReplyDeleteI liked that the race going on at the bottom gave students clear feedback and gave them a goal for their progress. Those are excellent videos. Another great resource is the Khan Academy website. They've also launched an iOS app for iPhone and iPad that can access their library of videos.
ReplyDeleteLove the video. I think media like this is a great way to enhance learning. Although, your game is what I would use after the video almost like a reinforcement. I also like Nick's recommendation of Khan Academy. I noticed that the AdaptedMinds website used a lot of their material. I fully agree with Adelina about the students understanding concepts better with visual representations. In English we would say visualization (ha,ha). Great discussion team!
