Students need the tools to make science interesting and FUN! One way of doing this is by incorporate fun media such as; Camera, (phone camera, everyone has one!), Microphones etc.
In there article, Jared Madar and Ben Smith (Pg. 30,L&L August 2009), they bring up great ideas about science and how to make teaching it and learning it fun for any class.
How do we engourage student to be creative and enovative with science? To make this happen, educators need to start following the..NETS.lAB lesson plans. There is so much creativity involved with using media tools to teach students.
By doing thins, it gives the students somthing to look forward to besides ONLY science...this gives them a change to be "hands on" learners. In my experience working with such lesson plans, i would highly recommend incorporating this with higher grade levels.
It would be ok to use this idea with a younger age group as well. However, be sure that you watch the equipment closely, it is easy for digital devices to get broke.
Incorporate these ideas into your science lesson plans and you are sure to have fun while teaching!

Maybe even have fun while learning...therefore, it's fun for everyone. My concern about all this technology though, is who will have this available to them. It just seems to me that something this specific...I don't know to work with only science may be expensive...other than that I love the idea.
ReplyDeleteYep. it is important to keep a diverse material of teaching tools. it can be fun for both, the student and the teacher. I think we have to keep learning creative and expand our minds.
