Description of what will be covered: The main focus of our workshop will be an investigation of the various learning areas that constitute the MassONE environment. Although participants will be trained in using each of the major components of MassONE, we will pay particular attention to using the “teaching and learning resources” in conjunction with the “virtual hard drive” and “workgroup” functions. Using a “constructivist” approach to learning, participants will explore MassONE's feature set while developing an actual WebQuest. Thus, the WebQuest will be the vehicle that will take participants through this working tour of MassONE.
What will participants will take away with them from participating: The participant will be able to:
• understand the WebQuest philosophy
• utilize MassONE “teaching and learning” resources in support of the curriculum
• integrate discussion forums into classrooms
• employ the survey tool for pre- and post-assessment
• save and share files using the Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) and Workgroups
Any materials attendees need to bring with them: Participants should have a MassONE username and password; they should have already logged on to MassONE prior to our workshop.
Refreshments provided:
Morning coffee, water, and pastries; lunch in the afternoon
