Get Your Students Hired
Brent,
YouTube is filled with video on virtually every subject. Videos can help supplement in class teaching for struggling students as students can review them at home and apply the concepts in class.
Antoine Lewis
Our program has a large manual technique component. We find that You Tube presentations of the techniques are very helpful in demonstrating the correct proceedures.
tiffany,
The internet is a great tool for teachers in the 21st century. The web provides much information that was previously next to impossible to get. It has become a quick and easy place for teachers to conduct their research for lessons and find information about what they are teaching.
Antoine Lewis
I use internet for research purposes. If combined with actual textbook/magazine research it works great
Barbara,
You are usinh technolgy that helps teach for the real world and prepare student for the profession they are pursing. I am sure older individuals in certian professions are being introduced to simulation/virtual surgery programs.
Antoine Lewis
I use the internet in a variety of ways. We use youtube to actually watch surgical procedures. We also use the virtual surgery programs and my students can be the surgeon and perform surgical procedures on a virtual patient. We also get a chance to view medical ethical and unethcal situations on youtube. This helps my students with problem learning problems solving skills they may need to draw from in the future.
Abdul,
Using technology to help you teach rather than hinder it is a prime example why blogs are good. You can share material, links and facilitate online discussions. It is a great way to get feedback and gather information so you can improve as an instructor.
Antoine Lewis
The Internet is an amazing way to get messages across to your students when you have no other way to contact them or provide useful information to. The biggest advantage would have to be the blogs, since the students find it very beneficial and simple to access.
Kimberly,
These enhanced CDs are often not used by student unless part of the guidelines in the classroom. You can often find practice exams, lectures, and interactive lesson. Its a great learning tool and used more in virtual learning environments.

YouTube is more than just a video site. It’s matured into one of the biggest resources for educational content ever. Engage students by showing a video relevant to their potential profession. Video clips can bring in different perspectives or force students to consider a new viewpoint, helping to spark a discussion.
Antoine Lewis
Most of our books come with tutorial CD. I encourage my students to use this as often as they can. Depending on the course, the internet provides a wealth of resources.
I teach dental assisting and youtube is a great way for students to see procedures being performed in a dental setting before their externship.
Darcie,
Interactive teaching resources are very important for classes like anatomy. Problem-based learning strategies is also helpful as real-world scenarios can help to promote understanding and interest.

Cloud services have become important as many instructors now use multiple devices. Being able to share files from home or the office helps stay structured. You can share files with students which adds to the virtual learning process. Good luck expanding on the use of drop box and good docs in your teaching.
Antoine Lewis
The utilization of Drop Box and Google Docs is valuable to facilitate communication between students and organize material in a cloud based format. Additionally I have used Web 2.0 resources for utilizing chunking and chaining of ideas to help with structured learning which is readily accessible.
Gerry,
The internet is indeed full of legal issues in regards to copywriting. Copyright laws are very complicated, and it is often hard to find straightforward answers about educational use.
Antoine Lewis
At this time our company is very reluctant to use the internet because of potential copyright issues.
Chris,
It is always good to when a course offers tutorials and free math problems. The problem is getting the majority of the class to take advantage of the resources provided.
Antoine Lewis
Each student gets a tutorial CD with their book and I constantly encourage them to make use of it if they run into any difficulty. There are also some free Math websites that offer practice and questions with instant feedback.
