When we can give them experiences to tie the information in with it will help them retain the information instead of just memorization.Hemanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321039284886722937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77777077401566888.post-2625003051801193722012-01-26T17:07:29.809-05:002012-01-26T17:07:29.809-05:00I also really enjoyed reading about your lesson. ...I also really enjoyed reading about your lesson. I think it’s an excellent idea and an activity the students can relate too. I agree that students learn better when they are responsible for their own learning. In my middle school experience students rise to the occasion and complete the activity and assignment at a very high level when challenged. Using technology helps keep the students attention and in turn students produce a quality product and truly learn the new concepts we are trying to teach them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77777077401566888.post-40461779243354125992012-01-26T10:28:48.450-05:002012-01-26T10:28:48.450-05:00You really have a great lesson going with the amou...You really have a great lesson going with the amount of rainfall in your town. The students must love the time that they are getting to research their hypotheses. I have found that students learn better when they are responsible for own learning. Being able to incorporate technology while constructing their own information is crucial and extremely important. I like to watch the 'Aha moment when a student learns that their hypothese was not quite right and that they need to continue looking into it. Students learn a valuable lesson when they understand that not everything comes out perfectly the first time and that not even teachers always have all the answers.stampinhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055138668812440332noreply@blogger.com
