I need some help. I can't make up my mind. I have narrowed it down to several choices. I don't want to go wrong here because if I do, it's going to be a miserable 6 weeks.
If they all suck, I have more. Input, I need input.
1.Synchronicity in distance education: Eluminate Live! or Adobe Connect?
2.Resistance to new technologies by elderly learners (I probably could actually do this one - I have 3 elderly relatives that have computers and they do not want to learn how to use them. One of them is actually using a Video Writer and it still works.)
3. Web Quests and direct teaching: Do Web Quests actually increase student learning?
4. The tablet PCs and note taking in the traditional classroom.

I vote for #2. As an elderly soul myself, it drives me crazy to watch the aged, infirm or housebound, who could broaden their lives so much with the Internet, refuse to learn or use a life-changing resource.

ReplyDeleteI always love to learn more about direct effects of technology on student learning. As always, you're going to need define "learning" and decide what you believe is an increase in that. The added complication for my situation (viz., elementary teacher in a Title-1 school) is that even if one can prove a direct increase in "student learning" via a technology, I also need it to show a positive effect (or at least not negatively affect) on standardized test scores.
