I teach most of my classes remotely via hologram. JK - I use Keynote like an ordinary sucker. We do use a moderately fancy LMS though.

Hello Theresa,
In today world, education technology plays a significant role in class delivery. Every aspect in the classroom can be supported by technology: lecture (PowerPoint), quizzes (coursesites.com), and math (Microsoft Math 4.0). In my computer applications class, I introduce the cloud environment through the use of OneDrive as support for team project by sharing a folder between members. I think OnDrive fill the purpose virtual learning since student can work together after class through their sharing folder.
Thanks
Guy

Jamie,

Best of luck with these enhancements to your classroom! What kind of simulations are you looking at implementing in the learning environment?

Wishing you continued success in the classroom.

Jennifer,

Thank you for sharing. I am happy to read you will implement a discussion board into your classroom environment. I find it very effective and the students who tend to say very little in class find their voice in this environment.

Wishing you continued success in the classroom.

I teach a front office class as well as offer a computer tutoring class. In both of these classes we are using laptops and online software. I am in the process of getting approval for new computers and access to our schools blackboard system so that even more of the work can be done on the computer and for the tutoring class I can have online simulations for them to complete on there own outside of "class" time.

In my classroom, I use anything from powerpoints, to videos, to submitting work online to engage students. Students seem to respond well to having access to multiple learning techniques.
At our school, we also use an online program called Engrade. This program allows students to access their grades, take quizzes and exams online, and take part in discussion boards. I do not, however, do not utilize the discussion boards.
Upon completion of this class, I will now be working to implement discussion boards into my classes, along with more technology-based student projects.

The theory instructors at my school use power points, Evolve, ATI, and have laptops with internet connections in the classroom. I teach clinical in the hospital, so I have to be careful with HIPAA. I use my iPad to help with explanations and show YouTube videos as appropriate. One of our patients was having her cerclage removed by the MD, prior to delivery. The students were invited to observe. A cerclage is a procedure done by an MD to suture close the cervix, so it can not dilate prematurely. On YouTube the students were able to view several actual cerclage procedures and also see a graphic demonstration of how it works. They were 100% engaged while we discussed this, much more so than when reading in their text.

Troy,

I have seen a shift in delivery practices in the classroom as typical "chalk and talk" classes such as English Composition are now being taught in a computer lab; this does create a problem when the students are not familiar with the technology. The teacher may find that they are not only teaching the course subject material, but computer basics as well. A mandatory computer basics course or a competency exam is always a good idea before introducing computers into the classroom, I do hope this is something your institution has in place or perhaps planning to put in place in the near future.

Wishing you continued success in the classroom.

I teach in a very fast paced program in the biological sciences. It is very important to make the learning experience as fun as possible. I incorporate games, videos, class projects, and case scenarios to help the students to apply the informatin they have learned.

No, only the standards: PowerPoint, web search assignments and general computer usage.

Troy Scheet CHEP

I work at a school that is slow to embrace change. We recently have added desk top computers in most of the labs allowing
students to access online reference materials. We are starting to see more and more students using their own laptops and
tablets in class. This allows us to do end of course surveys from the own devices instead of paper surveys.
Additional, one of the programs in shifting to a mix of online and class work to reduce the number of hours required to be
on campus.
Overall, the transition is going smooth. One speed bump is you see lots of students who are not comfortable using the computers.

Theresa Schmitt, M.Ed.

Ward,

Fantastic idea! You are teaching students how to make the most of technology, and rather than simply giving htem the answer, teaching them how to be self motivated learners.

Yours in learning,

Theresa Schmitt

Tammara,

I fully agree! There are often times perks to membership as well, such as scholarships and the ability to have your work published in professional journals.

Wishing you continued success in the classroom.

through exposure at first then by incorporating research and assignments with the use of tech.
next step was by demo and hand on use in class
last step was the actual use for delivery of class content and the integration in the curriculum

Ward Daughters CHEP

We are limited to what can be brought into class as far as tech is concerned because we are a Culinary school. Computers really get gummed up with grease in this environment. However what they do always have is a smart phone these days and we have wifi. What I have tried to do was when a student did not know something during a class and niether did anyone else, I call for a tech race and they have to race to who can find the answer first on their phone. I get strange looks from some of my older peers but the students come with the answer quickly and learn how to use their phones in a positive purpose.

Tammara Jordan

As an instructor, you should research and join gropus/societies that offer training or information on new technologies as they become available. Sometimes this requires you to do more Continuing Education than required but it will keep your students motivated and interested in your course.

Carrie Palumbo

I have used facebook in an assignment where students create company facebook profiles in a closed group setting to encourage students to create professional posts that will attract attention and followers. We do it as a closed group to illuminate personal setting information, but wish we could have a larger viewing group to have more feedback.

Jeremiah Cone CHEP

I frequenly rely on lectures and interviews available online to reinforce concepts.

Mark Schwind

To reinforce the lesson(s), for fun and to see what is retained, I will use a free software called "Stu's Quiz Boxes". It is a "jeopardy -type" program that is freely available.

I created for a few classes some quizzes and they have gone over great.

Eva De Dominicis CHEP

Besides having all my lectures on power point, I have also created games to help them with studying for tests. For example I have created my own jeapordy board online that we play for quiz reviews; a game that most students have seen or at least heard about. They get competitive with each other for the points even though there is no physical prize besides gaining knowledge.
