Modeling Knowledge in Elementary Schools

Databases

using databases such as the story database will create meaningful learning, but they will not always if not used corretly

when students share a part of their lives, they are engaging in meaningful learning

get ideas for myself from the Knowledge Innovation for Technology in Education on how to use technology in the classroom

when students learn from one another, they have some type of meaningful learning

have students submit stories about their culture or hertiage to share

have students submit their own stories to share with other students all around the globe

have students review stories' information such as goals, reults, lessons, etc. and share what they have learned

stories database is a wonderful idea for students to share their stories

Drawbacks: may not be a reliable source of information

Benefits: compare/contrast ideas, share stories, learning from other students

Expert Systems

Some meaningful learning, but not the best activity for elementary students.

They are not showing the full extent of their knowledge

Students, when searching for the right answer, have a deeper level of thinking

To have my students think more deeply about a topic they are already learning about

As a teaching tool to build relationships between what my students know and what they are going to learn

Drawbacks: if student gives incorrect information, they will recieve faulty answer

Benefits: students learn rules and information, have to think about the information they know

Spreadsheets

If used CORRECTLY, can definitely create meaningful learning

Use the technology in a way that is authenic to them

Students can explore numbers in a different way with technology

Students could input new mathematic rules they learn and see the relationships with a variety of numbers

A lot of teacher input would be required, but I think students could do it

Authentic Assement would be great to use with spreadsheets

Drawbacks: relationships may be hard to identify, set-up is hard, mathematics is more advanced

Benefits: works with numbers, easy calculations, can include graphs and charts

Systems with Dynamic Tools

Does It Create Meaningful Learning?

Should not be used in the elementary classroom for the most part.

No: If students don't understand what they are doing, how can the learning be meaningful?

Would I Use It?

Model-It may be appropriate, but website has no information?

Generally, too difficult for elementary students

Examples

Stella, VenSim, OiwerSim, and Model-It

Concept Maps

Meaningful Learning?

Makes students have a higher though process

Can show relationships between many topics

Students can show their understanding

How Would I Use It?

Map out a series of related ideas

Brainstorm an idea

Outline a story

Benefits/Drawbacks

Drawbacks: Can't be too detailed

Benefits: Easy to understand, visual, can be simple or complex
