` Cues, Questions, & Advanced Organizers

` Summarizing & Note Taking

` Nonlinguistic Representation` Cooperative Learning



` Using cues, questions, & advanced organizers

allows students to activate their prior knowledge.

When students are given a preview of what they

are about to learn and by experiences. This

strategy gives students the opportunity to connect

what they already know to what they need to

know.



` Venn Diagram

` KWL Charts

` Concept Maps

` Skimming



�Used the KWL chart prior to studying habitats of the

Niobrara. Continued to fill in as progressed through the

discussions.

�K- What I KNOW?

�W- What I WANT to learn?

�L- What I LEARNED?



�Narrative advanced organizers were used to make a

personal or real world connection with the content learned.

Students used Animationish, iMovie, Glogster, and

PowerPoint to share their stories.

` Focuses on students

interacting with each other

in groups in ways to

enhance their learning.

` ³We are living in atime when learningand innovation areincreasinglyglobal«.to beprepared for the fast-paced workplacestudents need to beable to learn andproduce

cooperatively.´Thomas Friedman



` Student created multimediais a natural environment for

cooperative learning.

` Requires many roles andresponsibilities.

` Creating movies in groups

allows students to

participate in cooperativeteaching when sharing the

final product.



` Use a variety of criteria

to group students

` Use informal, formal,

and base groups` Keep the groups to a

manageable size

` Combine cooperative

learning with other classroom structures



` Positive Interdependence (sink or swim together)

` Face-to-face promoative interaction (helping each to

learn)

` Individual and group accountability (everyone

contributes to final goal)

` Interpersonal and small-group skills (everyone¶s

strengths are showcased)

` Group processing (reflecting on how well group worked

together)



As the project came to an end the team

surveyed all students & instructors that

participated. The following slides

showcase some of their reflections aboutthe use of technology in the classroom and

knowledge gained about the Niobrara

River.



What are thebenefits for

using

technology in

the classroom?

³I think the benefits are that we can

learn how to use the technology

now, so that we are used to it in the

future«Using technology in the

classroom may help us get better

grades.´-7th grader

³More enthusiasm from students.

Students learn to interact with

technology and use it for research

and citation.´
