| Abstract: |
A current interest today is that of forensic science, so popularized by the television and movie media. Forensic Science is quickly becoming a star area of study due to the rapid growth of technology. By capitalizing on relevant issues and real-world technology use, teachers can help students learn more and develop problem solving skills. In this course, you will create a unit plan outline that uses handheld computers and other current technology as a vehicle to support forensic science investigations. This plan should enable you to assume the role of facilitator and your students that of "forensic scientists" as they gather, analyze, interpret, and share data to attain the solution to the mystery problem, that is, who is the perpetrator of the "crime" and how did it happen?
|
| Outcomes: |
After completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Use resources such as the Internet to locate, identify, list,
and explain the use of technology by forensic scientists.
- Locate and develop learning activities that introduce subject/topics
and are aligned to curriculum standards.
- Locate resources that show how to use technological tools to
gather, interpret, and share data.
- Identify, select or develop a variety of technological strategies
for students to use for investigating forensic science problems.
- Determine which activities students can perform given limitations
such as time and access to technology from within and outside
the school system.
- Develop a timeline for a "crime scene" investigation.
- Develop a method for assessing student learning when using this
forensic scientist approach.
