The Importance Of Computer Based Learning

The first thing that I would change would be taking a survey at the beginning of the year to see if students have time and access to a computer and internet outside of school. The reason why I would change this is because I would be able to incorporate computer base learning into the lesson plans. Computer base learning would be able to give students who are motivated to keep up with their pace. Students could go and measure their ability to read and write in a certain point of view. The computer technology can afford several different representations of information including text, diagrams, and graphs, among others. CBLEs that use multiple representations of information are a type of multimedia learning environment (Mayer, 2001,2005). If the …show more content…
Having an ongoing project could give students sense of self a membership in a successful group. They will be working on something that they put time and effort in so they will feel proud of their group when they finally finish a two project. This group project will also show the progress that they make throughout the unit of learning each point of view. This will also be added to the products that are made after each lesson. Working with a group of peers will affect their success or failure through their social context. The students will change with the other peer’s behaviors in their group. This will influence the sense of self by comparing themselves with their other peer members (Ellis 2013). This could make the students work harder depending on their group members. Working together will also give the ability for the students to go through accommodation. As a group the students will be able to modify their existing schemes of reading and writing and put write in a certain point of view. They also will be forming new schemes when they learn about the word choice and form with each point of view. Since the students have been going through school together they will share the same schemes and disequilibrium and be able to learn from one another and communicate their …show more content…
I like the fact that throughout the lesson there will be scaffolding with how I will be telling the students what is important to write down in their information packet. But I feel that maybe at the begging of the unit I could have them fill in the blanks with their notetaking so that they are still developing their schemes, but they will be able to concentrate on what the lecture is about since they are not worrying about what they need to write. As the lessons go on then the notetaking will be changed into different ways, so that the ending result will be that by the last lecture lesson they will be writing notes by themselves with no help on telling them what they should be writing in their information packets. These different notetaking strategies will put the students in disequilibrium and having them create new schemes so as they move on in school they will be able to take notes in multiple
