: (
Write a concise description of what occurs in this lesson.)
Journaling is a popular educational tool to encourage student self reflection as they engage in the learningprocess. It has been shown through many research studies that journaling encourages deeper reflection andmore formal thought in the learning process, promoting self directed learning as the student seeks andconstruct the information gained from the internet and integrate the information into his/her own learning map.In this lesson, students were first briefed on the basic workings of the cell, captitalising on the knowledge theyhad already gained from their primary school. The lesson also promotes the use of a variety of collaborativelearning techniques to allow peer teaching and learning and articulation amongst the students.
LESSON FLOW
Each work bench actually houses 4 students with a laptop computer shared between a pair. The students aretold that they should select 2 organelles that should be different from the ones the opposite pair were doing.Students are experiencing some form of collaboration in the quest of knowledge. They were then encouragedto work in pairs using the THINK-PAIR-SHARE method on 2 organelles from a list of 8 given for 5 minutes.They are encouraged to go into the following website to gain more information on those organelles chosen,filling up the worksheet as they do. Some of these sites have already been housed in our school selfconstructed LMS- Xmoogle.
