Resumen de Using a Google Jockey To Enhance Classroom Discussion
Laura E. Pence, Emily Greene, Harry E. Pence
While teaching an undergraduate level seminar class on environmental sustainability, it became apparent that many students lacked the experience to provide a rich set of mental images that would help to frame this topic. To respond to this situation, the authors of this paper employed a Google jockey during class discussions. A Google jockey is a student who surfs the World Wide Web for related material and displays the results to the class during a lecture or discussion. The strength of the Google jockey is that the images she or he finds enrich the ongoing conversation. A Google jockey seems particularly well suited to classes such as seminars, chemistry for nonscience majors, or lectures involving practical contexts.
