I really enjoyed our last two online classes. It was kind of fun in the first one to see the flurry of the conversation going (and comprising three different topics). It was confusing in parts only because there were so many people replying at the same time. By the time I'd have my response typed out, they'd already be on the next topic.
I think out of the two, I liked the one on the discussion board the best. It felt slow (and I almost forgot to go back), but I felt I had more time to think about my responses.
I once attended an online conference where I could "listen" to speakers give their lectures. If anyone in the session wanted to ask a question, they would put an exclamation point ! and wait for the moderator to call on them. At the conference, they also had forums where speakers could give their presentations (like our last online class).
Technology is cool, but nothing beats the traditional classroom.

I agree. The change of pace was nice, but I'll stick with the traditional classroom as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I liked the online class on the discussion board... no one really commented on each other's posts. But I do agree that it was easier to think of a response. And yes, traditional classroom learning is much better than having an online class, for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou know I really like the online class but I think that's just cuz i'm lazy and I could sit in my pajamas and eat breakfast while I'm technically "in class". But I do agree the traditional method is probably the most affective.
