12/38

ADVANTAGES

changes the nature of classroom dynamicsby increasing students participation

instructors can use the technology to acquire

immediate feedback during the lecture,which may allow them to change the pace or

reinforce a concept that students have not

mastered, as evidenced by their clickerresponses


13/38

DISADVANTAGES

technical difficulties may disrupt lecture flow

and cause frustration and anxiety

students with limited technology experience

may be anxious when audience response

systems are first introduced

some students view the use of technology as

a waste of time

PODCASTING


15/38

Podcasting

system of software and hardware thatpermit individuals to access audio and visualfiles

to create a lecture podcast, instructors can

enhanced learning environment


18/38

DISADVANTAGE

the impact on attendance and class

participation


19/38

ONLINE TESTING


20/38

Online Testing

many studies have shown that quizzing

students on reading assignments increases

learning and that administering online

quizzes outside of class can be an effective

alternative to traditional in class quizzing


21/38

Online Testing


22/38

ADVANTAGES

reduces test anxiety in those students with

high test anxiety

save class time and require less time


23/38

Several Ways To Discourage Students

From Using This Strategy evidence has suggested that setting time limits on

quizzes improves mastery of content

instructors should use a large pool of questions so

that each students receive a random subset ofquestions, discouraging working on a quiz with

classmates and encouraging students to learn the

content better

providing students with feedback after eachquestion


24/38

WEB 2.0: BLOGS, WIKIS AND

MORE


25/38

Blog

type of technology that allows an

individual to post and publish asequence of entries on a website


26/38

BLOGS


27/38

ADVANTAGES

as an educational tool, blogs allow studentsand faculty to share information, publish

ideas, collaborate on group projects, and

review other peoples work

students can share ideas, review their peers

work, and post work schedules to delineate

tasks

enhanced their motivation and learning


28/38

Wikis

interlinked web pages developed by two or

more people


29/38

WIKIS


30/38

ADVANTAGES

help students collaborate on group writing

projects and improve their writing skills

promote a sense of community

faculty can also track the input of each

individual student on group assignment,

allowing individual grading of students

contributions to the final joint product


31/38

DISADVANTAGES

because many students are not familiar withthe concept of wikis, they may be uncertain

of the requirements at the beginning of a

wiki assignment

if a large number of students are involved in

creating a wiki, it becomes increasingly

difficult for an instructor to track individual

changes to a document


32/38

INSTANT MESSAGING


33/38

Instant Messaging

involves two individuals interacting

online in a real- time synchronousdiscussion


34/38

INSTANT MESSAGING

virtual office hours, thereby increasing their

ability to interact with students

students collaborate on assignments and

projects outside of classroom

37/38

The nature of students is changing .Whether they

are dubbed net generation students or givensome moniker, students are increasingly open touse technologies (Tapscott, 2008).

TECHNOLOGY REPRESENTS NEITHER A PANACEANOR AN APOCALYPSE FOR THE TEACHING

ENTERPRISE.

l

In the end, the quality of teaching is moreimportant than the implementation of new

technology
