I'm posting this but will be working on it later as it's really in draft form still.
I have been playing around with Prezi in an attempt to compose a framework that I personally could use. I have inserted into Prezi a framework that comes from Laurillard's conversational model. To make sense of this model you will need to have and understanding of the flow and direction of flow used during the construction of knowledge.
For me to make sense of this model, I worked through it using a topic, in an upcoming workshop class that will be happening next term. While having a Student Centered Teaching approach when navigating the course. I looked at how I could link in the use of emerging technologies.
The topic is "Setting up a grid". The students will be working in three groups, with each group containing five team members.
I worked through this conversational model in Prezi and as I weaved my way through it I used the power of Prezi to pose questions that might be asked in conversation with the students. These questions appear in Prezi as prompts at times and these prompts may describe tasks covered by the students in the past or that may appear in the future. The setting up of a grid involves prior knowledge from lofting and AutoCAD, these courses have been completed by the students, but the transfering of knowledge, linking, adaption of actions in the light of practice and theory will be put into play now.
I found Prezi to be of great value in expressing, in a free format, what might happen in the construction of knowledge.
While constructing the Prezi, from the back of my mind kept flashing forward three letters...
B D A
which is a framework I use while allowing learning to happen. So I placed this next to the prezi and refered to this as and when I thought necessary.
I have placed a link to this prezi in this blog, but during the construction of the prezi a warning appeared that the prezi was too large or zoom needed to be addressed.
Watch this link as it opens you will need an inquiring mind to find the work in prezi! Good luck.
