• Summary of the article
• When Information Technology-assisted Project
  Based Learning is used in a constructivist,
  cooperative learning environment, students learn
  more and retain their knowledge better. Moreover,
  students learn the content area being studied,
  how to design and carry out a project, and uses
  of IT.
• Multimedia education tends to require a
  significant amount of professional development
  for its effective implementation.
• Many variations in viewing result as each user
  controls the order and manner
• of interacting with each element in the
  document.
• This interactivity adds a new dimension to the
  reading/writing process and the capabilities of
  reading and writing.

Ohio Technology Standards

• Grades 6-8
• Standard 3 Technology for Productivity
  Applications
• Students learn the operations of technology
  through the usage of technology and productivity
  tools..
• Standard 4 Technology and Communication
  Applications
• Students use an array of technologies and apply
  design concepts to communicate with multiple
  audiences, acquire and disseminate information
  and enhance learning.

34
Ohio Seventh Grade Science Indicators

• 6. Determine how weather observations and
  measurements are combined to produce weather maps
  and that data for a specific location at one
  point in time can be displayed in a station
  model.
• 7. Read a weather map to interpret local,
  regional and national weather
• (Students use PPTs to predict weather)
• 8. Describe how temperature and precipitation
  determine climatic zones (biomes) (e.g., desert,
  grasslands, forests, tundra and alpine).
• ( Students construct PPTs of biomes)

35
Ohio Seventh Grade Science Indicators Continued

• 1. Investigate the great variety of body plans
  and internal structures found in multicellular
  organisms.
• (Students construct PPTs of body systems)
• 2. Describe how an object can have potential
  energy due to its position or chemical
  composition and can have kinetic energy due to
  its motion.
• 5. Trace energy transformation in a simple closed
  system (e.g., a flashlight). (Students construct
  PPTs explaining their Rube Goldberg Machines)
• 2. Describe how decisions to develop and use
  technologies often put environmental and economic
  concerns in direct competition with each other.
• 4. Design and build a product or create a
  solution to a problem given two constraints
  (e.g., limits of cost and time for design and
  production or supply of materials and
  environmental effects). (Students construct PPTs
  explains how they built a model of a working
  gravel pit)
