Getting Connected to Science
Creating an Online Student Activity
2
Workshop Goals
To gain a better understanding of how Filamentality can be used as an instructional and learning tool.
To learn how to create an online student activity (Internet Hunt) using Filamentality.
To gain the skills and confidence to train peers in creating a student activity.
To learn how Internet resources build the foundation to better activities.
To understand how Bloom’s taxonomy plays an important role in developing effective activities.
3
Tasks at Hand
Short term goal (today)• Create an online student activity using
Filamentality. • Universe: Earth and Mars
• Learn how to use the training materials. Long term goal
• Using online resources, create student projects
• WebQuest
4
Today’s Agenda
Creating a new hotlist.Creating an online student activity.Learning how to use the training materials.
5
K-3 Learning Continuum
As the result of Camp Connect professional development, the PDSCCs will• Acquire technology skills and strategies to integrate
technology into the daily curriculum;• Learn how to integrate various online resources and
tools into the 3rd grade science curriculum; • Understand how to create student science activities
and projects; and• Provide support and training to peers at their schools.
6
Training Options
Option 1: Use the tutorial (Slides 8-20) to introduce them to how to create the hotlist and the hunt. Then train them live while in Filamentality.
Option 2: Going live into Filamentality, use the activity sheet to guide them through the development process.

What is Filamentality?
Filamentality is a template-driven tool that guides you through the process of picking a topic, searching the Internet, gathering good Internet links, and turning them
into online learning activities. URL: http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/
