Teachers act as designers on and regular bases when the design lessons both with technology and when working with general lesson formats. When teachers develop their abilities to design well and work well in their own designing structures, they begin to instruct better allowing for their students to learn on a higher level.
Model car design is a lesson in which students design a model car. This instructional can be used on multiple levels and allows for the teaching of technology application, but also with scientific and mathmaticial applications. This allows student to interact with their lesson and manipulate different aspects not only of the design but in some formats the utilization as well.
Digital Storytelling is a genius way to tell processes, with the use of lots of visual aids and attention keeping devices. This works would work well for instructionals on chemical, and biological pathways that are easily to learn visually and follow an almost story like porcess.
Math is a very challengine subject for many students and many benifit from the aid of visual assistants at understanding mathimatical concepts. The use of graphing calculators in these is very benificial and is easy implemented in almost all schools due to the general presence of calcs. As well simply allowing students to tinker with data sheets is also proven to be most beneficial.
It is possible for students to learn intirely from television, especially in cases of highly visual learning situations. For instance in the application of sport plays or results from chemical or phyical actions. However video instruction can be beneficial in almost all appllicatoins.
