Game Play

I think computers should be used in the classroom. Maybe have a class web-site that everyone could ask other students for help. Peer to peer instruction is very important in my opinion. I would never let students use a chat program during class. It seems like students talk to each other in class enough as it is. This would give them an outlet to just talk during class and not learn the material. Every student learns in different. Some learn by listening and taking notes in class. Others can learn by reading the material while not paying attention in class. While others can read material online and learn. The only podcast that I think could be used is maybe a podcast of the lecture. I think that would help tremendously. Students that didn't understand the material have a chance to go back and listen to the lecture again and try to grasp the information.

Video games help keep the mind active and working. Sometimes helps develop analytical thinking. Some games more than others. However, some students play video games to much and it takes away from the material. I would let me kid play video games whenever as long as he/she had a time where they were active and all school work was completed.
