Pickle, K., Coyle, S., & Jones, T. (2009, October). e-Learning Programs Come in All Shapes and Sizes. Retrieved October 1, 2009, from ISTE.
I couldn’t believe what I was reading when the article said that some teachers in the Yukon-Koyukuk School District taught five different levels, and each of those levels required different lesson plans. I can’t imagine how a teacher could be nearly as effective having to remember and present so much different curriculum. Once technology was introduced into these classrooms, it was proven that students were doing better and many were able to study and learn more about their native language that would not be accessible through a teacher teaching them because they do not know enough about that specific language more than likely. I think the e-learning program has obviously been proven to be very effective, and I think it should be used in many other school districts!!
1. How does the V-Brick technology reach out to children and in what ways does it help students and their learning?
The V-Brick technology is an awesome and very resourceful tool for teachers to use in their classrooms. It allows teachers to make video modules that students are able to follow online. The point of these video modules is to help students learn, practice and master concepts through using a computer in place of a teacher. In reality the teacher is not physically present, but is extremely close to being physically present due to being able to record themselves while teaching. V-Brick technology also allows for online practice activities.
2. What are some possible benefits to online student courses?
Students can take online courses at their own convenience, and if taking a course face to face doesn’t work out, online is a great way to be just as effective without having a teacher present. Another reason is that online courses can help students become well familiar with technology which is something very important in the 21st century. Equity is almost guaranteed in an online class, and the opportunities seem endless.
In this post, using the ISTE website I read an article called "e-Learning Programs Come In All Shapes and Sizes". I wrote a journal entry after reading the article, and I posted it on my blog. I formulated two questions from reading the articles, and then I answered the questions.
