Though time will tell as to how the development of the virtual field trip will play out cognitively when the students are walking the galleries of the National, but being fore warned is forearmed as they say. Part of the initial planning will include study of the same floor plans and placement of the exhibits online that students will carry physical copies of through the halls. The connection of virtual to physical should help with recall of the studied information and provide the students cues that will lessen the confusion that they face with this their first encounter with this new learning experience.<br />Jim <br />James Barkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869689762950557562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804963362118113876.post-10489123258911196462012-11-19T12:42:47.919-08:002012-11-19T12:42:47.919-08:00James,

I totally agree with your view. While dealing with kids that put the minimum effort into their assignments, making them go above and beyond with charts etc, might help them retain the information or spark some interest that they may have been “eh” too. In my wood working class, I teach students everything to know from A – Z. Currently, we are bring all that information into one place and relating everything together. It’s fun to see the “light bulb” turn on and kids start to make the connection. <br />Jarvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444571576102154035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804963362118113876.post-46478997112856364912012-11-19T11:08:43.596-08:002012-11-19T11:08:43.596-08:00Jim,

That city has so much to learn from! That is a great idea to include a virtual field trip before a real life one that way the students have an idea what to look for, especially since D.C. has so much to offer! It seems as though the students have learned a lot of cognitive skills that they will be able to take with them while on their trip. The will be able to recall what the learned on their virtual trip and use those ideas to retain what the will find on their actual real life trip. how do you think cues, questions, and advanced organizers along with note taking and summarizing fit into cognitive learning theories?<br />Amanda Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349365699051673553noreply@blogger.com
