Situating tool

 What is situating tool?

In todays lesson, we learned about the situating tool. What do you think situating tool is? This is an application or system which allows the user to situate in an environment where they can experience the context happen. Situating tool provide students to put their ideas of the real world into practical application. Situating tool are VR(virtual realities) and 3D computer simulated images. Some of the examples of situating tools are: google earth, graphical, GeoGebra etc..


This tool help the learners to situate themselves in the environment as well as comprehend and manipulate variables. Additionally, this helps enhance the learners creativity and visualizing skills making learning fun. We can integrate this tool in teaching and learning through use of Google Earth where, it will help us to experience the Virtual reality Environment. The learners can calculate the distance of the place using the Google Earth. We used the Google Earth to trace the different places as well as used the simulation games. We also went through the GeoGebra.










The diagram below is an example of how GeoGebra has been used to create math's variable. 

















The steps on how to use GeoGebra are as follows: 



Situating tool using GeoGebra: Constructing Equilateral Triangle


1. Concept Skills

 

-A triangle with all three sides of equal length. All the angles are 60 degree


-Go to  https://www.geogebra.org

-Log in with your gmail.com

-Then click on calculators menu, select the graphic calculator options

- Draw two points A and B using the New Poin tool

- Draw a line segment AB using the Segment Tool

-Draw a circle from point A and from point B using Circle tool

- Draw the line segments AB and BC using the Segment between Two Points Tool

-Hide the circles by right clicking them and deleting the circle

Middle Level Integration

Technology Integration in Education In today's lesson, we went through the PhEt simulation. Ever hear of this? If no, then let me take you through detailed information on what exactly is this simulation and how it is being integrated. PhET simulation. Basically PhEt is nothing but a free and fun, research based educational tool to teach science and mathematics. These simulations cover a wide range of topics in science and math, allowing students to explore concepts through hands-on virtual experiments. This can be used in classrooms to enhance learning and understanding of complex scientific principles. After attending the lecture on this simulation, some of the benefits I found are interactive learning. This simulation provide interactive environment where the students can manipulate and provides hands-on activities enhancing the understanding of the concept in a greater level. Another benefit I found is its accessibility. PhEt simulation are freely available online, making it acc...

SAMR During the lecture today, we were taken through the SAMR model. The SAMR model is a framework used in education to assess how deeply the technology is integrated into teaching and learning. Or it can also be defined as a planning tool that helps to design better learning activities. The SAMR stand for substitution, argumentation, modification and redefinition. In the following writing you will see a lesson plan integrating the SAMR model. LESSON PLAN USING SAMR   Lesson no: 2 Subject: Science Topic: Rotation of the Earth  Class: IV Time: 50 minutes Teaching materials: Power point, video on Earth spinning, playdough, toothpick, quiz Previous knowledge: students already know the shape of the Earth. Learning objectives: At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to 1. define the term rotation correctly in their own words without the help of teachers.  2. explain how Earth's rotation causes day and night accurately after the teachers demonstration 3. use a mode...

WHAT IS DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP? Today I will take you through one of the most important topic one should know as a person equipped with technologies that is the digital citizenship. So, what is digital citizen?  A digital citizen is an individual who engages responsibly, ethically, and effectively in online communities and digital spaces. Being a digital citizen involves using digital technologies such as the internet, social media, and digital devices in a positive and constructive manner. It also entails understanding and practicing concepts such as digital literacy, online safety, privacy protection, and respectful online behavior. This, also involves understanding the rights and accordingly taking responsibility associated with it. The digital citizenship includes nine element. The nine elements of digital citizen are explained as follows: For further understanding, I've explained the nine elements in detail. Digital Access:  Digital access refers to the ability of individua...
