Povzetek

V prispevku predstavljamo uporabo e-gradiv pri pouku geografije z vmesnikom Interact, do katerega lahko dostopamo s spletnim brskalnikom. Vsebina e-gradiva v Interactu je identična Svarogovim izobraževalnim zgoščenkam, ki so opremljene s kartografskim in slikovnim gradivom ter interaktivnimi animacijami. Interact nam poleg osnovnih e-gradiv na koncu posameznega tematskega sklopa ponuja tudi naloge za ponavljanje in utrjevanje znanja. S sistemom za ocenjevanje učitelj takoj dobi povratno informacijo o uspešnosti reševanja nalog posameznih učencev, prav tako pa dobi povratno informacijo tudi sam učenec. Interact je učiteljem pomembno olajšal dostopnost in uporabo Svarogovih e-gradiv, ki jih lahko sedaj tudi po posameznih elementih (zemljevid, fotografija) uporabimo na interaktivni tabli. Tovrsten način uporabe e-gradiva lahko pomembno obogati pouk, omogoči lažje doseganje učnih ciljev, pripomore k večji nazornosti predstavljenih geografskih pojavov in procesov, hkrati pa dodatno motivira učence, ki lahko gradivo uporabijo tudi za samoučenje.

Ključne besede: e-gradivo, vmesnik Interakt, pouk geografije, interaktivne naloge, ocenjevanje uspešnosti.

Abstract

This issue features the use of e-content in geography lessons with the interface Interact, which can be accessed with an internet browser. The content of e-content in Interact is identical to the educational CDs of Svarog which are equipped with maps and picture material as well as interactive animations. Interact offers not only basic e-content; at the end of every thematic section it also offers exercises for reviewing and consolidating knowledge. The system of grading enables the teachers and individual students to get instant feedback on the efficiency of individual students in solving exercises. Interact has significantly improved the access to and use of Svarog e-content which can now be used on interactive whiteboards as individual elements (i.e. maps, pictures). This kind of e-content use can significantly improve the learning process, enable an easier way to achieve learning goals, enable a higher degree of clarity in presenting geographical phenomena and processes, and finally, it also additionally motivates students to use the e-content for self-study.
