ABSTRACT
Searching online for images, animations and videos is an excellent way to see other ways of how something works. A word cloud shows the most common words in a block of text in a larger font. It is a wonderful way to focus in on the important aspects of a learning screen or paragraph of text. There are a few different options available on the interactive site. Crossword and word search puzzles are an effective way to learn new important words and the associated technologies. Visible thinking is a method of teaching that encourages learning through observation. It is a way to encourage students to use thinking skills they have already developed outside the classroom. The think-pair-share routine involves posing a question to learners, asking them to take a few minutes of thinking time. The connect-extend-challenge routine helps students make connections between new and previous knowledge. It then acts as a guide as to how to further develop their interest.
