Accordingly, and to Jacob (2010), beyond the
control of institutions is the unstructured relationships of social networking;
there are knowledge artifacts in social networks that are not bound together by
literary specialists, “literate-grounded experiences of linearity,” or systematic
structures of theories (p. 81). On the internet, there is a countermovement
against the laymen culture involving collective information from a
collaboration of experts to create “rich information about people, places, and
culture” through systems like Google Earth, which provide satellite imagery,
videos, three-dimensional models, geophysical records, and easily accessible
information about geography (Jacob, 2010, p. 83). The object of using
technology in the classroom is to “use [the] software productively, as quickly
as possible,” to increase the flow of information, or complete work assignments
(Wiggins & McTighe, 2005, pp. 292-293). Online learning uses the collaboration
of software tools and management systems to organize information, and immerse
the student into a technologically advanced learning environment. The teacher
uses instructional strategies that motivate the students into investigative
inquiry through problem solving (Hung & Jeng, 2013, p. 255). Investigative
learning starts through the use of essential questions that help learning;
subsequently, the questions need to span concepts and disciplines, they are the
theoretical framework for exploration.
