MacKinnon, Gregory R.; Aylward, M. Lynn – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2009
Technology offers promising opportunities for creating new types of classroom learning environments. This paper describes three technology models used by teacher education interns: electronic portfolios, negotiative concept mapping, cognote-supported electronic discussions. As implemented in the current study, these models invoke graduated…

Kearney, Matthew; Treagust, David F.; Yeo, Shelley; Zadnik, Marjan G. – Research in Science Education, 2001
Discusses student and teacher perceptions of a new development in the use of the predict-observe-explain (POE) strategy. This development involves the incorporation of POE tasks into a multimedia computer program that uses real-life, digital video clips of difficult, expensive, time consuming, or dangerous scenarios as stimuli for these tasks.…
