Cathy,
I really enjoyed all of the different teaching styles you used in class tonight. It helped keep things interesting and it helped keep all of us students active and forced us to participate. My favorite was the use of that live feed talk stream thingy, that is a neat idea and I have never been exposed to something like that in a learning environment before!
Thank you! I was very pleased by the valuable exchange of ideas on the back channel. We will continue to use it. So many students have great questions, perspectives and experiences. Even when there are differences of ideas and opinions its a great way for everyone to have a "voice." I particularly LOVED how students were answering one another's questions!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! A lot of the times (not just in our class) the same people talk, or we run out of time, so discussion isn't really priority. But with this gadget, ANYONE who wants to say something can. It keeps the flow of class on the right track, and it's easy to refer back to if you were paying attention in class. Wish a lot more teachers would use this!
