Situating tool
Concept of Situating tool
Situating tool refers to the system which will situate users in an environment to experience the content and happening.
Situating tools are educational technologies and resources designed to immerse learners in authentic, real-world contexts. These tools help students understand and apply knowledge by placing them in environments that replicate real-life scenarios. The purpose of situating tools is to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, enhancing the relevance and engagement of the learning experience.
Examples: Virtual reality
Augmented reality
phEt Simulation
Instructional games
Geo spatial tools
Reflection on Situating tool :
Situating tools have transformed the learning process by making it more dynamic and relevant. It provides context for learning, making it easier for students to understand and retain information by seeing how it applies in real-life settings. Simulations and virtual environments offer a safe space for learners to experiment and make mistakes without real-world consequences.
Using GeoGebra, we can solve as well as interpret complex data and concepts more effectively. Moreover, we can create and manipulate geometric constructions, plot functions and equations, and analyze algebraic expressions and data.
Google Earth, on the other hand, provides a unique opportunity to explore the world virtually, making geographical concepts more relatable and experiential.
Situating tool using GeoGebra: constructing equilateral triangle
1. A triangle with all three sides of equal length. All the angles are 60 degree
2. Process skills- procedures
- Step by step to construct equilateral triangle in GeoGebra
- Go to GeoGebra.org
- Log in with gmail.com
- Then, click on calculators menu, select the graphic calculator option,
- Draw two points A and B using the New Point tool
- Draw the line segment AB using the segment between
- Select circle with center and drag from point A to B, vice versa.
- Select a point and make a point C on the intersection point of the circle
- Select line segment and connect point C to point A and B
- Select polygon and construct a triangle
- Select 'move + highlight circle+ show and hide object.'
