TYPICAL CLASSROOM
An example of the typical classroom. Computer and internet access. Over head projector. Video conferencing equipment. Students can watch a teacher being filmed at another campus whilst they are delivering a class. This is great in country areas. Cuts down on travel time for teachers and students, where it may be over an hours drive to get to another campus. Much more effective use of resources.
I can see how that is efficiant. Is there a teacher with the students in tha classroom as well when in these video conferences?
ReplyDeleteI see it as a great perk and addon quatity but not as a substitute for a teacher in person. What are your thoughts?
In Australia the huge distances between towns and cities mean that we have to find other ways to connect with our students. Donna you sound as though this works well for you. Do the students all come together at any time?
ReplyDeleteI agree Froken. This has been used very well when we have a guest speaker who can only get to one campus. The teacher is still present with each of their groups, but all four campuses get the benefit of access to the special guest speaker without having to travel up to 100kms. Hope this answers your question Ros. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it nice that the teacher is present. That gives the students an opportunity to discuss afterwards. Reflection in smaller groups is very good for students when developing nursingskills.
ReplyDeleteI agree Anna, and not only nursingskills. It is an important part of learning and growing. That is why I wondered about a teacher being present :)
