Integration Activities/Strategies to Support CSIP |
|
Facilitate
group activities using electronic resources that
address higher order thinking skills.
| Teachers
can use electronic resources in a way
that will encourage and promote cooperative
learning and higher level thinking.
Several software programs, as well as
Internet activities have been designed
to use cooperative groups in decision
making and problem solving. Tom Snyder
carries a program called Reading for
Meaning, that can be used in a whole-class
environment to teach reading strategies
such as main idea, sequencing, cause
and effect, etc. The Decisions, Decisions
(humanities focus) and The Science Court
series require students to gather information,
make decisions, and defend their decisions
orally. WebQuests are online learning
activities. Students work in groups
to solve a problem or complete a project. |
