Agreed.  It was interesting to hear the different learning types expained so thuroughly.

I found the course to be benifical. I too have found students would rather be texting and play video games on their phones during class time. I will use some of the suggestion from this course to engage them. 

I think we should be using smart boards and technology more. I think students coming through these days are way advanced in technology and seeing something in real time or 3D would be much more stimulating than reading out of a text book.

 

Michelle, have you used smart boards? Not only are they expensive and require tech support but, I fell in love with the idea after coming across them at a NSTA conference and really wanted one. Now I am working where they have them and no one uses them because it takes a long time to learn how to use them and they hiccup frequently.
