Problem Idea Pad - Our Meeeting & Discussion on Other Possible problems

# data[].attributes.body
Students are unable to work together (don't know how to collaborate)
Students lack the interpersonal skills to collaborate on activities

Students eat high sugar foods and are  too hyper to learn - poor nutritional choices
(High sugar nutrition results in hyperactivity and lowers attention span resulting in poor performance)

Absenteeism results in poor performance
(absenteeism due illnesses)
- educate student on how protect against common illness (eg, cold)
-educate on foods to build immunity/healthy eating habits
-educate on hygiene
-education on treatments for common illness

Poor Reading Skills results in poor performance

Students lack Motivation/Incentive to complete task/Activities

Loss of hearing or hearing impairment can have an adverse impact on academic performance

Solution

Providing hearing impaired students with preferential seating in the classroom in a position close to the teacher not only allows for better hearing, it also allows the child to see the teacher and fellow classmates better so that they can better observe visual cues that can often be very beneficial in the learning process.

Problem - Poor children with poor vision have low performance

Solution 1: Change classroom layout so children with nearsightedness sits closer to the board, and farsightedness sight further away from the board

Solution 2 : Provide Handouts for notes so there is no need to copy from the board

Small Problem Identified from Video -  Improving student performance on after lesson (unit) assessments.
How the lessons were being delivered...

Problem Question
What are the effects on formative assessments when learners to choose their own teaching model or mode of learning (direct instruction, group learning, peer instruction, videos, computer games, etc)?

PBL Solution/Prototype Suggestion -
Question that guides learner investigation
The choice of input device used by a person is often based on what the person wishes to do with a computer device. For instance, If the person wishes to type a letter, they may select a keyboard. You are expected to explore what common inputs devices are in your environment and identify what tasks they are used for?

Learning Experiences and Presentation
Students will explore the theory (content) using mode of learning of their choice (video of persons using various input devices, A notebook containing a write-up of various input devices and their use, a game on types of input devices, a podcast between two students reflecting what they learnt, a WebQuest).

They then produce a video to help young people make wise purchasing choices of five input devices to suit unique needs.

Assessment
Students will then complete formative assessment (quiz)

Evaluation
Student score from assessment and survey of their experience.

Prototype Solution (the goal) - Develop a learning unit with alternative learning modes (Video, Audio, WebQuest, interactive) and assess the impact of this choice on learning performance.

The Lesson Objective
At the end of this lesson the students will be able to identifying common computer input devices (eg, Mouse , Keyboards, etc) and explain how they can be used.

Video demonstrating various input devices and their use
Audio Podcast on various input devices and their use - Audacity
WebQuest - something like this http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=54031
Game - https://kahoot.it/
Interactive (drag and drop quiz) - http://www.smartbuilder.com/

Resources - Audacity, Window Movie maker, Powerpoint, http://www.smartbuilder.com/ -  E-Learning Authoring Tool (interactive)

problem - low performance

cause or small problem - alliterate and lack of parental support through modelling of good reading.

solution - create short videos with passages - karaoke style, videos which can be messaged via phone, create audio tapes of passages

justification - modelling is one of the best strategies to improve oral reading

Resources - VIDEO CREATING, AUDIO RECORDING TOOLS

PSL prototype Instructions
View the video for this stint

Do a brain dump of information and/or knowledge on PSL

Each member of the group must identify one {small] problem that was discussed in the video and select it as the groups problem.  In no more than 250 words, post the problem to the Learning Cafe with supporting evidence (research, articles, resources, etc..)

Group must select the problem that will be prototyped.

Group must also select a leader that will guide the prototype development

The group with the leader will determine the timeline, resources and/or tools used for the development of the prototype
A presentation of the prototype will be presented on the last Thursday of the 2-week Stint.

The final prototype will be uploaded to your Collaborative space last Saturday of the 2-week Stint.
