Situating Tool

 Situating tool

Situating tools are systems/application which situate user in an environment where they may experience the context and happening. Situating tool are VR, 3D computer simulated images and simulation instructional games.  We use situating tools to situates user in the environment, games and for learning,. 

Situating tools is a system that allows the user to situate in the environment where it involves a context and the occurrence of the situation. Situating tool generates 3-D images and gives the user the feeling of being situated in the virtual environment. Examples of such systems include simulation, virtual reality and multi-user domain. Through computers, we can locate lots of simulations and games which can enhance learning.

So, as a teacher even if we do not have sophisticated situating tools, we can use simulations. Simulations can be used to teach any subject, however, I personally feel that it is mostly used to teach science as it has more features related to science. Another good example of situating tool is 'Virtual reality' extension system. Through this system, the computer can create 3-D images on display to give the students the feeling that is situated in the virtual environment.

Using one of the situating tools, that is GeoGebra,
we construct three equal sides triangle.

Procedures

Step by step to construct equilateral triangle in GeoGebra
1) First click on GeoGebra icon from desktop or geogebra.org in chrome
2) Draw two points A and B using New Point Tool
3) Draw line segment AB using the Segment Between Two Points Tool 


 

       4) Construct two lines and used circle with center.
       5) Then again construct another circle from point B.
       6)After  intersecting three  points using segment.
        7) Draw the triangle using polygon.

        8) Then right click on the line and select show object to erase the lines and to just keep the points


        9)Finally, triangle will be formed with three equal sides.

SMAR model

24th April 2024   SAMR  Model SAMR model stands for  Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition .  The SAMR model provides a valuable framework for educators (and anyone integrating technology) to critically analyze how ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are being used. Here are some key points to consider: Levels of Integration: Substitution:  This is the most basic level. Technology simply replaces traditional tools. For example, using a word processor instead of pen and paper for writing. While it can improve efficiency, it doesn't fundamentally change the task. Augmentation:  ICT enhances a task. A teacher might use a presentation tool with multimedia elements to explain a concept, making it more engaging than a plain lecture. Modification:  Technology changes the way a task is done. Students might use collaborative online tools to work together on a project, fostering communication and teamwork skills. Redefinition: ...

30th April 2024   Learning about TPACK:   a   Powerful   Tool   for   Teaching This week, I learned about a cool framework called TPACK. It stands for Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. Basically, it's a way for teachers to think about how to use technology in the classroom to teach stuff in the best way possible. TPACK is made up of three things: Tech Savvy: This means knowing all about the different tech tools and online resources available, and how they can be helpful (or not so helpful) in teaching. Teaching Tricks: This is all about the different ways teachers can explain things and help students learn. Subject Smarts: This is the knowledge a teacher has about the specific subject they're teaching, like math, science, or history. Here's the cool part: When you combine these three things, amazing things can happen! Imagine you're teaching about rivers in social studies. You could use TPACK to: Show pictures and diagrams on a projector...
