ED119
I just finished ED119 and thought it contained a lot of good information and resources on integrating "on-line" learning tools into the classroom.
I know there are those who are afraid that students would waste time if they were allowed access to a lot of these things (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc), but I think if it were employed as a type of homework assignment, it could be useful. In other words, tell them it's not to be done in class, but something that they can (should) do away from the classroom. Something that would take no more than 15 minutes of their time on the weekend and they might have to either answer a quiz that goes a little more in-depth in the lesson plan, or something that they can write a short essay to answer the question.
Anyone else who may ahve completed ED119 have ideas on this subject?
ED119 provided useful and helpful information on how to engage students in the classroom by using today’s technology. I will incorporate what I learned into my lesson plans.
