Do-type activities help us transform information into knowledge and skills. While we get information in Absorb activities, we discover, analyze, discuss, evaluate and apply knowledge in Do activities. Do activities include some types of activities:
Practice Activities: These activities allow learners to information, knowledge and skills. Some practice activities are drill-and-practice, hands-on, guided-analysis and teamwork activities.
Discovery Activities: They lead learners to make discoveries. Some discovery activities are virtual laboratories, case studies and role playing games.
Games and Simulations: They include quiz show games, word games, jigsaw puzzles, adventure games, software simulations etc.
We should use these activities to provide encouraging and safe practice for learners so that they can apply learning in the real world; motivate learners; prepare them for Absorb activities; enable learning by exploration and discovery.
