NETS-1 and 2


Bringing video-conferencing into our classrooms allows for world experience at a cost efficient price. The idea of having the students create a play or “lesson” and then present it to a class across and around the world is an experience, in my opinion, that a student wouldn’t forget. I also liked the idea of showing a museum in the classroom via video because it takes away less classroom time by not driving to a location. The four main points addressed to incorporate web-video learning are find, evaluate, collaborate, and present. I think that the author was making a point that an educator cannot just use this type of teaching without being efficient and observant of its benefits.

Question#1: Will all students benefit from this type of learning?
Answer#1: No, I personally do not think that all students would benefit academically because every individual learns differently. But I do think that regardless of academics, it would be a life experience that is important for a student to have inside the classroom.

Question#2: How much video-conferencing/learning would take place inside the classroom?
Answer#2: It is important to have a balance in everything you do, therefore, it is important to not over or under use technology inside the classroom. The main idea of this article was to present a piece of technology in a way that can be used for several schools and classrooms across the country!
