4. Enhancing Learning in Science with eZedia and PASCO
By Drs. Jane & Michael Madden
Francis Marion University
Science education is one of the easiest ways to engage students. Science is exciting. It can also be very confusing, full of details, and not make a lot of sense if you lack the conceptual map to link information. Research has revealed that the private, unspoken understandings we have of a concept may vary considerably from the accuracy of that portrayal in the real world. So, how do we go about getting students to build better concept maps and letting us know what they're thinking at the same time?
Multimedia tools such as eZediaMX can assist. It isn't the novelty of multimedia authoring that is the power behind it. The impact comes from the resources we can combine in multimedia to craft a conversation about a topic. It goes beyond watching videos and surfing the Internet. This process challenges the student to pull together the information from multiple sources - text, video, audio, graphics, Internet, library, community members - to support a clear line of reasoning. Multimedia gives them multiple ways to expand their understanding of what an ocean is, for example. More importantly, it gives them multiple ways to express their understanding. This is where they make the implicit, explicit! We get to see and hear what they're thinking.
