This is a study which observed students using technology during a project-based learning activity. Students used computer technology as a tool for collecting information, organising it and presenting it.
"The purpose of this study was to investigate the process used by learners to seek, locate, and integrate information resources for use in a project-based environment. "
"This paper reports the findings of a study which observed students' (aged 10-11) use of technology during project-based learning activities in science. "
tudents are given a list of grade-appropriate math concepts. Working in small groups, students walk around campus and use a digital camera to take several photos that they can use for math problems related to the concepts on the list.
Technology multiplies opportunities for students to experiment, analyze, predict, and reflect about math and science in real-life activities, as they cement their understanding of fundamental concepts in these subject areas.
Students will use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit to gather data from walks or runs. Students then will analyze the data to make predictions about calories burned on future walks/runs.
students create a vocabulary photo book in iPhoto that demonstrates their understanding of geometry concepts learned in class. First, the teacher divides students into small groups and assigns each group one or more geometry terms
