More about tonight’s webinar on 'knowledge-building'
Big idea: Knowledge building happens when students do more than reproduce what they have learned: they go beyond knowledge reproduction to generate ideas and understandings that are new to them. Activities that require knowledge building ask students to interpret, analyse, synthesize, or evaluate information or ideas.
What you need to do to prepare for tonight
1. Think about this question: Are students required to build knowledge? Is that knowledge interdisciplinary?
2. Make sure your system can manage the Lync by reading/downloading the following information
3. Take a look at the lesson plan worksheet
Please join us at 6pm if you are free. Presenter is Megan Rademeyer.
