Lecture for March 2nd

Production Tools
A production tool is a form of learning whereby students create a product or concrete artifact that is the focus of learning. The students create a product to present to the class as a learning tool. Examples include; a storymercial, a digital story, a powerpoint, a book report, a brochure, a newspaper article, or a comic strip.
There are many benefits when the students do the work. It allows the student to surf for the content of the subject and sift through it to see what is needed and what is not. It forces the students to be organized and teaches them responsibility because they have to get it done on time. Making a product helps the students learn how to use the technology.
We discussed new tech high schools and how they work. Technology is intergrated into them more than other high schools.
