Day 2 Afternoon

How does the technology you currently use enhance your students learning and your teaching?
It gives the students a chance to listen to someone other than me, in the lesson presentations and the United Streaming videos. Also, it gives them a view of the subject matter in a forum to which they are accustomed, as most of them are a lot more technologically able than us teachers!
Most of the review games, and websites, give them another vehicle for practice of skills, with less teacher intervention and less reliance on pencil and paper or the dreaded worksheets!

How do you know?
They are not shy in sharing whether they like or dislike something and this helps in lesson planning and knowing whether to do something the same way with the next block of students or if I need to modify the format so that it is more engaging.
Also it helps to create the notes in powerpoint form, that way it is very easy if a student is absent to just print a copy of the notes for them.
