Web 2.0 Visualization Tools to Stimulate Generative Learning
Abstract
Twenty-first century learners’ learning experiences require vastly different instructional opportunities than the generation before. These electronically bred learners have become “wired” to learn best from and to prefer instructional activities that allow them to manipulate their learning environment. With this understanding, educators should respond with instructional practices that not only support learners’ fundamental and preferred learning behaviors but also provide environments that foster creative and critical thinking experiences. New Web 2.0 educational technologies can help educators to deliver rich instruction that is relevant, appropriate, and that affords a “playground” in which generative learning can take place. This chapter introduces readers to a category of interactive technology instruments called visualization tools and how these tools can be used to stimulate generative learning. Examples are provided and criticisms of text visualization tools are also carefully considered. Readers are challenged to explore new uses for and the impact of visualization tools.
