This paper examines in-class-use cases involving three teachers of diversebackgrounds who participated in our project; the goal of which is to answer the followingquestions: 1) How did our tool change the way the way the teacher engages with studentthinking? 2) How did our technology support the teacher as he interacted with student ideas?3) What are the factors that enable the teacher to or prevent him from capitalizing onopportunities afforded by the tool to probe student reasoning? 4) How does this engagement, aswell as other aspects, affect the student discussions that result from using the tool? In so doing,we hope to inform future

framework for an information visualization arealso presented.1. Background and MotivationTechnology has the potential to aid instruction, but the simple act of using technology to deliverinstruction does not improve the instruction being delivered [1]. In order to have a positiveimpact on student learning, instructional technology developers must draw on what is knownabout how people learn and then use technology to improve the quality of the instructionalmaterials. This often involves collaboration between researchers with backgrounds in educationand those with backgrounds in software, or other technologies. This paper serves as a case studyof one such instructional software development process, the development of the Adaptive Mapdigital textbook

During the fieldtrip they took pictures of the damage (see Figure 2) and recorded their observations andquestions.After the field trip and a short introduction to knowledge building theory, students spent oneweek collaboratively developing knowledge building questions on Knowledge Forum. They didthis by posting their observations (with pictures from the site and other pictures and videos theyfound on the Internet), as well as their initial theories and questions about their own and theirclassmates’ observations.

The course is about 2/3Matlab and 1/3 Excel. We have a variety of students. Some are eager to learn and highlymotivated. Others are much less enthusiastic. To make the course interesting and relevant, weuse problems from science and engineering as much as possible. The problems are specificallychosen to illustrate the various topics covered in the computing course and to show theusefulness of the computer in their solution. Special emphasis is given to choosing problems thatare of general interest to all the students, regardless of engineering discipline. Students need tobe familiar with

outcomes of thisyear long program.1 IntroductionThe I-3 (Pronounced “I three”) Experience program offered a 21-week after-school program for 9th -12thgrade students who are interested in exploring computing. Students went to campus once a week for a 2.5hours session in the evening. Our goal in designing this program was to build on the success of K-12summer camp outreach programs offered at Georgia Tech’s Institute of Computing Education (GT ICE).Thus, we aimed to offer students an opportunity to pursue their interest in computer science (CS) througha constructionist and project-based curriculum. As we moved the students from exposure topersonalization of the technology they developed, we aimed to increase the number of students desirousof

So doing, all students will have seen the same material presented prior to startingthe lab exercise.CS 053 is a traditional lecture course.
