Natural Disasters: Overview
These materials have been developed to take full advantage of the
technology that will be available at our institute. From 2006, all
classrooms will have a laptop computer which can be used by teachers
while teaching. In addition, there will be 11 multimedia classrooms
which can be used for regular classes or for student
self-access. These different learning situations are covered by
the materials.
Before looking at the individual lessons, please look at the
student book. This text contains all the activities covered in Lessons
1 to 4. Students and teachers will need to refer to it whether in a
regular or multimedia classroom.
| Lesson 1: |
Done in a regular classroom. The lesson is started
by the teacher activating the tsunami simulation. Activities 1-7
are then taught by using the powerpoint presentation. (Note:
There may be problems with the internet connection when doing
activity 2. The additional powerpoint presentation can be used
instead.)
|
| Lesson2: |
Self-access study in the multimedia classroom. In
the real learning situation, students will access the material
by logging on to WebCT. The quizzes and the assignments will be
done interactively. In these sample materials, you can view the
quizzes, quiz feedback and assignments, but you cannot interact
with them.
|
| Lesson 3: |
Student and teachers work together in the
multimedia classroom. Once again, in the real learning
situation, students will access the material by logging on to
WebCT. The assignment will be done interactively.
|
| Lesson 4: |
Done in the classroom. The lesson is started by
the teacher activating the powerpoint presentation. Class
discussion is then based on the pictures in the
presentation.
