Transparencies vs. Projectors and Power Point

Transparencies – Have to write all work by hand– Need to erase the transparency – Cannot save all work written on transparencies– Sometimes hard to see from far away in the

classroom

Teacher student Interactions

– Student not being able to relate to the teacher

– Students are embarrassed to ask questions so they get left behind

– Teachers cant focus on one student

– Teachers lose enthusiasm after teaching the same material

– Students may lose interest in class

Interactive Computer Learning– Students have same

curriculum– Students pay more

attention– Students results are

standardized and put into data Ex. D2L

– Interactive learning software can be fun and challenging
