Strategy

These strategies should be followed once your web unit has been developed.

1. Pretest Students:

First of all you would pretest your students. You would want to determine what your students all ready know about specific elements related to the topic. For example:

-Do you know some French fashion designers?

-Do you know difference between 'haute couture' and 'prêt à porter'?

-Who is involved in fashion?

2. Preview Materials:

Then you would want to preview your materials as needed. For example, if you have specific web sites for them to
access, you would want to look these over and make sure that they are related to the topic in question, that they can be accessed, and that they are appropriate for the level of your students. You also want to double check your web site you have created to ensure that all works well.
3. Prepare Materials:

You would next want to prepare the appropriate materials. For example, prepare advance organizer questions,
statements, true or false ideas or visuals that you would go over in class with the students prior to their working with your web module.

4. Prepare Environment:

To ensure that all goes well the day you begin work on your module, make sure that you have your questions or written materials printed out, that you have the appropriate equipment for in-class presentation, or that you have access to the computer lab to go over the module with the students.

5. Prepare Learners:

Before students work with the module, you want to prepare them for the work to come. So, you would give them an overview of the module, you would also go over the advance organizer materials you prepared earlier, and you would let them know what is expected of them within each segment of the module. This would entail following the objectives outlined earlier in this teacher component.

6. Provide Experience and Interaction:

At this point, you've made your assignments and now student should be working with the material. It is ALWAYS important to bring the information back into the classroom and interact in relation to it. This is what makes technology effective and personable!
