1 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION as an Interest Approach for Ag Literacy Programming Technology The Program ¡°It¡¯s not just Cows and Plows¡± is a cooperative program put in place by the Soil and Water Conservation and Extension Office in Van Wert County. The program is supported by the local school systems, and serves approximately 300 fourth graders each year. Youth learn about the process of food from ¡°Soil to Spoon¡± through interactive stations in livestock, crops, marketing, production, soil, water, and farm safety around equipment. Heather L. Gottke, gottke.4@osu.edu 4-H Program Coordinator & Interim Educational Technology Specialist
2 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION Before youth attend these stations they are gathered for an opening session. This session is an interactive interest approach for the events that are to follow. Using ¡°Turning Point Technologies¡± clickers students participate in a jeopardy-style game. The game categories and questions mirror the information that they will learn throughout the course of the day using the stations as topics. The clicker software provides a fun and easy way for educators to explore interactive technology without the fear of not knowing how to setup the game. Interest Approach The group selects a question (above) and then answers the question (right)
3 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION Want to try Clickers? ? The clickers provide an opportunity for all of the youth to give an answer. They are given adequate time to respond, and their individual response is recorded but anonymous. ? Being able to start the learning process from the first opening event to lead into all of the stations for the day is a great opportunity for those youth to be exposed more than those who just learn a few facts during the opening session. ? It helps to kick off the day of learning with the right attitude, and set the stage for what is to be learned (objectives) throughout the day. ? There are many clickers throughout the state of Ohio that can be borrowed free of charge! All you have to do is ask. ? The software is a free download and works from within your PowerPoint software. http://go.osu.edu/aglitclickers For more information please visit my blog page about this topic!
