1. A short summary of the video case: This video showed a fifth grade class working together through research and problem solving using computers to solve problems that they thought astronauts might have on space ships. They worked in groups and did research on computers to find how to solve math and physics type problems.
2. What technology was used in the video? The students used computers to do research and look up things they could not find the answers to.
3. The technology used in this lesson was teacher-centered (meaning the teacher, not the students, utilized the technology), or student-centered? Why? The technology in this video was very student centered because the students were using it to find the answers to their problems.
4. Do you agree that the technology makes the lesson more engaging? Why or why not? I believe that in this particular case technology did in fact make it more engaging. If computers were not available to the students to use then they would have to look up answers in books and references materials. I believe that this would have disinterested the students. There is something about using computers over books that engages the students more.
5. Think about what kind of preparations that teacher might need to make to implement this lesson. What would the teacher need to think about, both from a technological standpoint and a pedagogical standpoint? The teacher may have to search the web for appropriate pre-approved websites that the students could utilize in their search for information.
6. What strategies would you use to assess student performance in the video? I would use a quiz to see if the students learned what I wanted them to find out.
7. What are the advantages of using the technology in the lesson? Information is much easier to find (much more accessible).
8. What challenges would the teacher and students face when integrating the technology in learning and teaching? I don’t know
