  THE COLLABORATIVE AND SHARING ACTIVITY THAT I DESIGN IS A "THINK-PAIR-SHARE/WRITE-PAIR-SHARE" WHAT IS THINK-PAIR-SHARE/WRITE-PAIR-SHARE ACTIVITY?          It is a collaborative learning strategy where students work together to solve a problem or answer a question about an assigned reading.

Take this a step further by asking students to find someone who arrived at an answer different from their own and convince their partner to change their mind. Student responses are shared within larger teams or with the entire class during a follow-up discussion. THE ICT TOOLS THAT IS USED IN THIN...

 ANALYZING THE SAMPLE OF ICT-ASSISTED PROJECT-BASED LEARNING PLAN             Upon analyzing the sample ICT-assisted project-based learning plan, it  is a comprehensive perspective focused on teaching by engaging students in investigation. Within this framework, students pursue solutions to nontrivial problems by asking and refining questions, debating ideas, making predictions, designing plans and/or experiments, collecting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, communicating their ideas and findings to others, asking new questions, and creating artifacts.  Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy that involves a dynamic classroom approach in which it is believed that students acquire a deeper knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. Students learn about a subject by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, challenge, or problem. It is a s...
