About Possible Worlds | Possible Worlds PLAYING TO LEARN: Using Games to Help Teach Difficult Concepts The Possible Worlds digital games are designed to help improve student understanding of phenomena that are often the subject of scientific misconceptions. Developed by EDC|Center for Children and Technology (EDC|CCT) over the course of two research and development projects, the games are the centerpieces of modules that address four topics: photosynthesis, heredity, electricity, and heat transfer. Each module includes accompanying classroom activities that leverage students’ experiences within the games. Our game modules are designed to help students build novel conceptual models, and provide tools to help teachers and students draw analogies between the games and science concepts. Build novel conceptual models Scientific phenomena can becounterintuitive and hard forus to imagine. Why are certain scientific phenomena the subject of persistent misconceptions? Draw analogies between the games and science concepts Have fun!

Modelos didácticos para primaria: Matemática manipulativa Nuestro cuerpo y los materiales didácticos. No entiendo las matemáticas ajenas a la manipulación, desde el empleo de mi cuerpo viviendo situaciones o utilizando materiales que me hagan aprender más fácil. Es lo natural. Con frecuencia permanecemos más atentos a darles inconscientemente continuidad a las formas tradicionales en las que "aprendimos" , que a la reflexión sobre si nuestra práctica con nuestro alumnado es verdaderamente útil y nos hace a todos más competentes en el desarrollo de una tarea. Así, entiendo que esta ciencia se creó y fue desarrollándose para solucionar situaciones concretas y reales.
Getting Children Involved with Edtech Posted by Shelly Terrell on Saturday, August 1st 2009 The Problem Although I have taught English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) for several years, I only began to teach very young children two years ago. Why? The children are less of a challenge as the barriers teachers face daily when pursuing such a hefty ambition. Which is the right technology to support learning goals? PLN at Work! My philosophy, as you may know from reading this blog, is that Twitter leads to great collaboration! The idea was to find a way to encourage my German students to use the English they learned. Why I Love the VoiceThread Project! This collaborative effort has been very successful for several reasons, including: The children’s identities are hidden! All our collaboration was performed through e-mail, Twitter , ning, and VoiceThread ! Challenge: Ask yourself, “Who from your PLN can you collaborate with for meaningful projects?” Would you like to share your collaboration anecdote?

Learning Beyond Walls- Games and Wikis! Posted by Shelly Terrell on Tuesday, August 17th 2010 Part of the Cool Sites series Many of you have started school already and are integrating new technology in your curriculum. Wikis are one of my favorite tools for encouraging learning beyond the classroom walls. I’m sharing with you this post I originally wrote for one of my favorite blogs, ELT Digital Play, back in May. Extending Learning Beyond the Classroom Walls Did you know that the average time spent playing video games per week is 18 hours? So what do you put in a wiki? A wiki is like a class website, but easier to design. Adding the “social” to game-based learning… Have you watched anyone recently play a game on their Wii or PS3? Embed a Wallwisher so students can easily add in gaming tips Embed a Google Doc where students add tips and tricks to pass certain games stages.

How to Plan Instruction Using the Video Game Model Imagine you are placed in the following scenarios: You are dropped off at the top of a ski resort's steepest run when you've only had experience on the beginner slopes. You have to spend your day on the bunny hill when you're an expert skier. You play a game of darts with the target two feet away. You play a game of darts with the target 200 feet away. In each of these extremes, you would feel either frustrated or bored, depending on your level of achievable challenge. Challenge is a powerful motivator when students take on tasks they find meaningful and, through their efforts and perseverance, succeed. Achievable Challenge Requires Individualization As I wrote in my previous blog, A Neurologist Makes the Case for the Video Game Model as a Learning Tool blog and the accompanying video, the most popular computer games take players through increasingly challenging levels as they became more and more skillful.

Game-Based Learning Units for the Everyday Teacher Game-based learning (GBL) is getting a lot press. It is an innovative practice that is working to engage kids in learning important 21st century skills and content. Dr. Judy Willis in a previous post wrote about the neurological benefits and rationale around using games for learning. She also gives tips about using the game model in the classroom. Myths About Game-Based Learning First, let's clarify a couple things. Gee refers to teachers as "learning designers," and I couldn't agree more. Inspired by the work I've seen, here is an overview of components and structure for the everyday teacher to implement game-based learning Overall Structure: Individual Quests and Boss Levels A game-based learning unit should consist of both smaller quests and more robust boss levels. Boss levels are more rigorous missions that require students to synthesize the content and skills learned in the quests. Overall Theme Need to Know Game-Based Learning demands a "need to know" the content. Incentives Avatar
