As teachers, we should always find new ways to add to a student's learning. <BR/><BR/>For example, at my school, I teach a group of gifted students for about two hours per week. Instead of having me just talk to them for two hours, I have them download workbooks from http://www.dedicatedteacher.com. By downloading them at home, the kids don't need to carry any extra books around, and can do their "readings" at home on their own time. That way, when we meet up, we can discuss what the students have discovered, and just clarify the things that they didn't understand. So, even though the computer has taken over the role of teacher for them, I can do what no new technology can do: and that's give feedback, direction, and answer questions.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great blog!JMcIntyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085240391088072974noreply@blogger.com
