Situating tools are system which situates users in an environment where they may experience the context and happenings. I feel situating tool is authentic and very interactive in nature where the user feels that they are situated in a real environment in their learning. There are many situating tools which helps teaching and learning. Under situating tool we learnt how to use graph calcs, google Map and simulation.
As a teacher we can use Graph calcs to teach students graph and find relation easily.
The use of google map helps the learners to see the real 3D image of the places that they haven't visited before and explore on it. If we are far from our home town, using google map we can visit our village and also see our house in a 3D form. we can also easily calculate the time of different places and compare time and call to their friends during free time.
As a teacher we can use different phet simulation to teach children which makes learning easier and fun.
Situating tool helps both teacher and the student to learn with the help of integrating ICT in the classroom. As a teacher, we can use such tools to involve learners in cooperative learning activities where they are challenged to use their critical thinking abilities. it is one of the best learning approaches where learners are actively involved in addressing real-world problems.
Situating tool and constructive tool are similar. Both allows the users to manipulate variables in the system.
Situating tool is a very important tool which which helps the teacher as well as students to learn in a better way. In future i will keep in mind whatever we have learnt and use it in real life classroom to make learning interesting and effective.
Thank You
