Situating Tool

  




Situating tools is a system that lays the students in an environment where it involves a context and the occurrence of a situation. Examples of such include simulations, virtual reality, and multi-user domains. Situating tools software tools such as Google Earth, Simulation games, and GeoGebra offer a hypermedia application that gives better opportunities for teachers to enhance the learning environment. Hypermedia application covers more than one of the following media such as text, audio, graphic images (still images), animation, and video clips. Hypermedia applications are well integrated into the learning environment to enhance student autonomy and thinking (Cheung & Lim, 2000).

Simulations are programs that teach strategies and rules that are made to apply to real-life situations. It also provides opportunities to interact with real-life situations without danger, expenses, and difficulty.



Concept: An equilateral Triangle with all sides of length equal
Situating tool using Geogebra:  Constructing Triangle 
Procedures:
  1. Open GeoGebra using a browser 
  2. Click on start calculator 
  3. Clock on Geometry from the top menu 
  4. Click on tools from the side menu and select the segment
  5. Draw a straight line across A and B 
  6. Next click on the circle with the centre 
  7. Start from point A and draw a circle 
  8. Next from point B, draw a circle
  9. Select a segment from the tools and draw a triangle inside intersecting circles this C will be labeled 
  10. Select a polygon from the tools and draw the thick outline on top of it without releasing the mouse 
  11. Click on first circle and click move from tools after that click on hide/ show object
  12. Repeat the same step with the second circle
  13. Lick on the home menu from the side and choose to download a PNG image to save.

WHAT IS SAMR?   SAMR stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. It's a framework used to evaluate the level of technology integration in education and how it impacts teaching and learning. Developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, SAMR provides a way for educators to assess how technology is being used in the classroom and to strive for higher levels of integration that promote more transformative learning experiences. Here's a brief explanation of each level: Substitution : Technology is used as a direct substitute for a traditional tool, with no significant change in the task. For example, typing an essay on a computer instead of writing it by hand. Augmentation : Technology provides functional improvements to the task, enhancing its effectiveness or efficiency. For instance, using spell-check and formatting tools in a word-processing program to improve the quality of writing. Modification : Technology allows for a significant redesign of the task, leadin...

Secondly, being a good digital citizen also means being car...

What is TPACK?   TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. It's a framework used in education to understand and describe the types of knowledge required by teachers for effective technology integration in teaching and learning. Here's a breakdown of the components: Technological Knowledge (TK) : This refers to knowledge about the technologies themselves, including how to use them, their functions, and their limitations. It encompasses knowledge of various tools, software, and hardware relevant to teaching and learning. Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) : This is knowledge about teaching and learning processes, instructional methods, curriculum development, and assessment strategies. It includes an understanding of teaching theories, learning styles, classroom management techniques, and instructional strategies. Content Knowledge (CK) : This refers to knowledge about the subject matter being taught, including concepts, theories, principles, and facts relevant to a p...
