  • Use fonts 24 points or larger for the text. Use dark type and light background for the overhead/slide. Avoid USING ALL CAPS. (The normal use of upper and lowercase characters is easier to read.) Use Italics or color rather than underline to emphasize a point. (Underline makes some characters difficult to read.) Limit seven words per line and eight lines per overhead/slide. Use the overhead/slide as a guide for presentation. Face the audience when showing the overhead/slide. Distribute a copy of the overheads/slides to students ahead of time if possible. Keep the room lights on and avoid showing slides in a dark room for more than 15 minutes (Dark rooms can make students drowsy.) Avoid putting students in a passive mode of receiving information by combining the overhead/slide presentation with chalkboard/whiteboard use or other learning activities. Have a backup plan in case of a power outage or equipment failure.

  • Allow plenty of lead-time for planning the course and designing course web pages. Be sure that the course web pages are functional. Have a back-up plan for lectures (e.g., print or save the web pages on your local hard drive). Be well-prepared for your presentation, for example: check the classroom set up (e.g., browser, software, computer memory, monitor, and audio). verify links, especially the external links. check the room lighting to see if it is suitable for both viewing the projected screen and taking notes. arrange for a technical support staff to be in your classroom at the start of class to help with the setup if necessary. always know whom to call for help if technical problems occur. Emphasize the need for filtering and interpreting information on the Web when encouraging students to use online resources. Remind students that only a smaller fraction of the whole archive of knowledge is available on the Web.
  • Facilitation
  • Preparation
  • ke online discussion/conferencing an integral part of the course. (Do not separate what is happening in the conference from what is happening in the face-to-face class meetings.)
  • reate a comfortable atmosphere for the online conferencing/discussion, for example: be an active participant.
  • Set clear expectations and standards for assessing student web pages/projects.
  • bring your own experiences to the discussion.
  • Identify what features in a course management system you will use and why you will use them.

  • The survey found that more teachers than ever are incorporating interactive games, activities, lesson plans, and simulations into the classroom. Sixty-two percent of teachers say they use digital media twice a week or more and 24 percent say they use it every day to help them teach. The numbers of teachers using TV and video content in the classroom is even higher. Over 80 percent of teachers say they use TV or video to teach a lesson at least once a month and 76 percent are streaming it from the web.

  • according to a recent study by CompTIA—which surveyed 500 K-12 and college instructors across the country. The report, IT Opportunities in the Education Market, revealed that 78 percent of K-12 teachers and administrators believe technology has positively impacted the classroom and the productivity of students. Roughly 65 percent of educators surveyed also believe that students are more productive today than they were three years ago due to the increased reliance on technology in the classroom.
  • Taught with the video lectures, Roshan's students in the 2010-11 school year scored an average of 4.11 on the AP calculus test, compared to the 3.59 average

    This site would be useful for my students when I get my own classroom of students with special needs because it gives you many examples of different kinds and examples of technologies and tools that you can consider using.  Another reason it will be useful because for all of the softwares, it gives you reviews, which will help save time so you can just read them, instead of using the softwares and finding out their weaknesses.  Technologies is a huge way that students with special needs can get the most out of the learning in their classroom.

  • The grammar translation method instructs students in grammar, and provides vocabulary with direct translations to memorize. It was the predominant method in Europe in the 19th century. Most instructors now acknowledge that this method is ineffective by itself. It is now most commonly used in the traditional instruction of the classical languages.
  • anguage immersion puts students in a situation where they must use a foreign language, whether or not they know it. This creates fluency, but not accuracy of usage. French-language immersion programs are common in Canada in the state school system as part of the drive towards bilingualism.
  • Blended learning combines face-to-face teaching with distance education, frequently electronic, either computer-based or web-based. It has been a major growth point in the ELT (English Language Teaching) industry over the last ten years. Some people, though, use the phrase 'Blended Learning' to refer to learning taking place while the focus is on other activities. For example, playing a card game that requires calling for cards may allow blended learning of numbers (1 to 10). Private tutoring

  • Technology serves as an excellent tool for building this background knowledge as the internet connects us with a wide array of information, photos, videos and interactive materials related to any subject or question we can imagine.
  • Technology is also useful in that it can provide a variety of accommodations for students with different learning needs. For example, if students have difficulty seeing, screen size and print can be enlarged for ease in reading. There are programs available online or for the desktop, which can translate text to other languages or even read it aloud to students as they follow along silently. In addition, many programs and activities are interactive and allow students to manipulate objects while exploring new concepts in subjects such as math and science.
  • With the wide variety of resources available online student can virtually be the master of their own learning—with little direction from their teacher—and most students are happy to do so
