Learning Styles
Learning styles implemented are as follows:
Concrete Sequential- Very organized learners who will prefer using the computers to gather their information
Concrete Random- Brainstorming and justification of the purchases are those who will excel
Abstract Sequential- These learners will excel in the decision process
Abstract Random - These learners will prefer the presentation part (PowerPoint)
Transfer & Retention
Strategies used in this webquest which promoted transfer & retention of new information are as follows:
1. Groups will brainstorm ideas of how to spend the money and decide on a budget plan (Chunking)
2. The use of an outline to transfer ideas before developing the power point
3. Creating the PowerPoint presentation to sell their ideas
Sense & Meaning
The sense & meaning in this WebQuest was developed through the constant & persistent questioning about how much equipment costs and why can't we as a high school just purchase anything when we need it. It is hoped that upon completing this WebQuest that students will have not only a better understanding to just how expensive it is to run a studio but that extreme amounts of thought and research go into making these decisions.
