Elluminate Live
There are always considerations with instruction. Is the equipment available to all students, and proper instruction for its use. I feel our students are more capable, and more at home with technology. Of course we need to have our objectives mapped, then make it interesting. With the internet at our disposal this should be easier. We can offer alternatives that require little effort compared to a traditional classroom. Time considerations to maximize participation, and careful planning would be essential to this type of setting. I subbed for a business class yesterday and the lesson plan for that day would have worked well in this setting. So many students fail their first semester in college do to the lack of regiment they received through high school, I believe this would help their transition. With technology levels of today, and the lower cost of this technology why would we not use it?
Hi, Ken - interesting that you think Elluminate would help students in their postsecondary transition . . . an added feature not previously considered - good for you.
