The following is a problem centered activity that was developed to teach the children similarities and differences between each type of community. The children are challenged to complete a worksheet filling in the characteristics of each community and to draw a picture representing the type of community that they would like to live in. Additional teach information can be found on the teachers page.
The PCA is defined as an Internet-based, educational technology, student-driven learning experience. It is typically hierarchical in structure that tends to provide the viewer with more freedom of navigation and information display. Discipline content in the PCA is gathered and deciphered (from other web presence sources or web pages within the activity) to solve an engaging problem presented at the onset of the activity. The general design of the PCA is Introduction-Task-Process-Research-Assessment. However, these categories may be modified terminology-wise or structurally depending on the viewing audience age. The viewer with basic Internet navigation techniques should be able to explore online activities in the hierarchical structure with clearly labeled navigation links.
