Assignment: Volcano PowerPoint

• How might this assignment be shaped by:– Behaviorist– Constructivist– Cognitivist– Pragmatist– Multiple Intelligence

Instructions

• Alone, list three ways each pedagogy might approach the same lesson

• Join a group and increase the list to 6 or 7+ • Peek at the pre-listed approaches and copy/paste

the ones you like best to your lists to reach 10 – 12 approaches total

• Delete the pre-listed approach slides• Upload to Slideshare• Embed it on the class wiki

Behavioristand the Volcano PowerPoint

•Student reads text on volcano and has Q and A with teacher. Teacher gives rewards for correct answers.•Teacher created worksheets•Charts and graphs

Constructivistand the Volcano PowerPoint

• Teacher shown videos on volcano formation and students create presentation on what they learned.

• Students research volcanoes on internet and present what they learned

• PBL style learning

Cognitivistand the Volcano PowerPoint

• Teacher presents volcano demonstration to students and how it is formed, history of formation. Students then look at how different volcanoes where formed and how they are formed. Where and how they may form in the future as well.

• Forecasting of volcano eruptions, why and what factors go into the prediction.

Pragmatistand the Volcano PowerPoint

• Facts and history about previous volcanic eruptions.

• How to avoid disasters from previous volcanic eruptions

• What to do if a volcano erupted near by.

Multiple Intelligenceand the Volcano PowerPoint

• Bring in multimedia to present: Visual, sounds of volcanoes, art, power point presentations.

• Hikes in Petrified Forest with presentation as wrap up activity.
