But vodcasting makes it a lot easier to keep up. The video is posted online, where kids can access it outside of school. That way they can better utilize their time with the teacher.
Essentially, vodcasting has flip-flopped the traditional way of learning. Classroom instruction is done at home, and homework is done in class.
"There's a lot of research that shows that kids learn better that way because of their ability to pause, rewind, listen to things again," Newitt said.
"You probably remember going to school with the teacher at the front of the room and the students sitting quietly in neat rows. But education has changed; now students work in groups and participate actively in class. Even homework is different. Vodcasting is changing the role of the teacher in the classroom. "
