| Learning to Solve Problems with Technology A Constructivist Perspective By David H. Jonassen and Jane Howland |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chapter 6: Learning by Constructing Realities With Hypermedia | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am amazed with all the infinite possibilities that somebody can create when using multimedia/hypermedia. There is space to be very creative and it is challenging. I, more like a student than a teacher feel motivated to go through all the software mentioned on this chapter to see how they work and see what I can do with them; like the Hyperstudio, Chisel and StorySpace. I believe multimedia is wonderful to teach languages and I tried when I was teaching in Brazil and the students love it! They all liked computer and were very motivated to be the owner of their knowledge; also they were challenged by the computer programs, interacting, repeating sounds, making phrases and the computer "recognizing it"; they were all learning while playing, in their own pace. That's very good to know how helpful these tools can be. At that time they were receivers of instructional technology now that I know that producers of technology works much better and I have this understanding and agree that it is the way to go to integrate different perspectives from different disciplines having students as producers not receivers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
