Plagiarism: Sin or Symptom? (PowerPoint presentation)
Encouraging Process Orientation: Handout
1. I-Search:
- Macrorie, K. The I-Search Paper. Portsmouth, NH: Boynton/Cook Publishers, 1988.
- The origin of the I-Search
idea. Macrorie, an English professor in the US, developed the I-Search to
overcome the problems he saw with university students not being engaged in
their writing.
- Joyce, Marilyn Z. and Tallman, Julie I. Making the Writing and Research Connection with the I-Search Process. New York: Neal-Schuman, 1997.
- Joyce and Tallman apply the I-Search process to younger students. They link Kuhlthau's Information Search Process to the I-Search process and provide in-depth ideas of working with both. Their work is grounded in research with students writing I-Search papers.
- Make it Happen. The I-Search Unit http://www.edc.org/FSC/MIH/i-search.html
- This site provides many
useful links for working through the I-Search process, including a good explanation
of what it actually is. Explore all the links to access the depth of this
site. Includes examples of students' I-Search papers.
- It's Okay to Use "I": The I-Search Process http://www.avon.k12.in.us/library/isearch.htm
- Catherine Trinkle provides
a simple overview of the I-Search process. Follow the
link on her page to examples of instructions to give students.
- Rubric for the I-Search Process http://home.scottsburg.com/trinkle/rubric.htm
- A useful rubric for marking I-Search papers, by Catherine Trinkle.
- Where do I Stand? An I-Search Rubric http://www.bcpl.net/~sullivan/modules/stand/intro/isrub.html
- Another marking rubric.
This one has a more holistic approach and is designed for students to use
in self-assessing their I-Search papers.
- Guidelines for Drafting Your I-Search Reflection http://www.bcpl.net/~sullivan/modules/tips/i-search/reflguide.html
- This site provides students with guidance on how to put together an I-Search paper. There are other useful pages on this site (including the above listed rubric 'Where do I Stand'), but they aren't linked to one another, so to find the other pages, click on http://www.bcpl.net/~sullivan/modules/tips/i-search/ and choose items from the list. Use your browswer back button to move back and forth from the list to the pages.
2. WebQuests
- The WebQuest Page http://webquest.sdsu.edu/
- This page was created by Bernie Dodge, the originator of webquests in 1995. He developed the mode with Tom March, who has since moved to Australia and continued to develop the concept.
- Ozline.Com http://www.ozline.com/
- Tom March's educational site. It includes a variety of information regarding students using the web. The main focus is webquests, and it leads to a site of high quality webquests at http://bestwebquests.com/. Since there are many poor quality examples that also proport to be webquests, it is useful to see some examples of those that do follow the guidelines of a webquest, which by definition will engage students and get them thinking.
- Filamentality http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/
- Filamentality provides
an easy to use template for creating webquests and a server for storing them.
It also enables teachers to create other web-based structures for students
to access and use.
3. Concept Mapping/Mind Mapping
- Inspiration Software http://inspiration.com
- A visual learning software package available for purchase that allows creators, whether they are teachers or students, to brainstorm and then organise their ideas into mind maps or concept maps with clicking and drag-and-drop techniques. Very simple to use, but potentially a very powerful strategy for engaging learners and developing thinking. You can download a free trial to test its possibilities.
- Concept Mapping Home Page http://users.edte.utwente.nl/lanzing/cm_home.htm
- Defines and demonstrates
concept mapping and explains the difference between concept mapping and mind
mapping. Links to other sites related to both concept mapping and mind mapping.
- Mind Maps http://members.ozemail.com.au/~caveman/Creative/Mindmap/index.html
- This site provides a range of information on mind mapping to symbolically represent ideas.
- Creativity Web http://members.ozemail.com.au/~caveman/Creative/
- Leads you to a variety
of ways to facilitate creative development in students.
