1. Concept Skills:

 A kite (quadrilateral) whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other.

2. Process Skills: Procedural Skills

 Step by step to construct a kite in GeoGebra.

1. Click on the GeoGebra icon from desktop. 


2.  Click on the button near to the graphics to make the blank page. 


3. Click to grid and axes to hide the grid                     and axes.




4. Click the button on the right hand side of the page and select geometry

5. Draw two points A and B using the New Point tool



6. Draw the line segment AB using the Segment between two points tool 





7. Click to a perpendicular line tool to draw a perpendicular line



8. Click on the line drawn in step 6 to draw a perpendicular line. (After clicking drag a line to point

9. From point B draw a circle through point A using the Circle with Centre through a Point tool




10. Now add a new point C on the intersection point.


11. Repeat step 8 to draw a perpendicular line. (This time drag a line to point A)

12. From A draw a circle through B using the Circle with Centre through a Point tool

13. Now add a new point D on the intersection point
 14. Now click polygon tool and click on the point A and drag the line to point B then to point C and finally to point D to make a square.

15. Hide the circles by right clicking them and deselecting


3. Product Skills

Google Classroom as a Constructive Tool

Image
Google classroom is LMS, an e-learning platform where teachers engage, interact, and collaborate with their students.  I created the google classroom using the following steps: 1.

My Google Classroom was successfully created.   There are two ways a teacher invites students to join the Google Classroom. The first way is by inviting students via e-mail where they will get a link to click on. The next way is to have students go to google classroom and type in the code for the classroom.  I invited students and co-teacher (my friends in this case) to Google Classroom via email. For this, I clicked on the 'people' button on top of the page where it provides options to add students and co-teachers. In the space to add co-teachers, I mailed my friends who had chosen the same subject as mine (science)...

ICT as Situating tool

Image
Situating tools are applications that situates a user in an environment where they are able to experience the context. This includes 3D computer simulated images, experiential learning environment, and simulation instructional games.  Situating tools are important in the classrooms so that students be able to understand and comprehend the the ideas of the real world by applying theories in real life (hands on experiences). Following are the examples of situating tool and situating tools can be integrated in the classrooms using these tools: 1. GraphCalc 2. GeoGebra 3. Google Earth 4. Simulation games 6. Google Maps   We use situating tools in the classrooms to situate user in the environment, and for the user to be able to understand variables. Situating tools are also important so that a user is bale to communicate with other users. This also help enhance creativity skills.
